Lung cancer in patients living with HIV infection.

Fig. 1. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis (mean survival W SD in months) comparing lung cancer stages at the moment of diagnosis. We read with interest the article by Hessol et al. [1] regarding the characteristics of lung cancers in a large HIV population cohort. Incidence rates of several common malignancies, including lung cancer, are rising in HIVinfected patients. Although cigarette smoking is probably the main known risk factor [2,3], ageing, existing pulmonary disease, HIV-related immunosuppression and inflammation due to HIV could lead to immune system dysfunction and promote the development of lung cancer in this population as described recently [4].
