Treatment of HIV and Anal Cancer
In general, treatment for patients who have anal cancer and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is similar to treatment for other patients, and these patients have similar outcomes. However, this treatment can further damage the weakened immune systems of patients who have HIV. Treatment in patients with a history of AIDS-related complications may require lower doses of anticancer drugs and radiation therapy than doses used for patients who do not have HIV.
