AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The virus attacks and breaks down the immune system, the body's line of defense against infections and disease. As these defenses weaken, people with AIDS can develop one or more of a group of very serious infections and cancers. Certain cancer types, such as Kaposi sarcoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, are more likely to occur in people infected with HIV.
If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with an AIDS-associated cancer, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is ready to help. Our experienced team of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who treat these cancers is dedicated to providing the highest-quality screening, treatment, and care for our patients. Patients also have access to innovative therapies through our clinical trials.
