The treatment of HIV/AIDS-related cancer depends on the type of cancer, the size and location of the tumor, whether the cancer has spread, and the person’s overall health. In many cases, a team of doctors will work with the patient to determine the best treatment plan.
AIDS-related cancer is a group of cancers that are frequently diagnosed in people with HIV/AIDS. People who do not have HIV or AIDS can certainly develop these types of cancers, however they are only referred as HIV/AIDS-related cancers when diagnosed in someone with HIV or AIDS.
The reasons why I was not imprisoned for running an open Cancer Clinic at Bracebridge, Ont., for 8 years, were:
Because I achieved good results in animal research under the observation of medical doctors. My treatments caused a regression of the malignant growth in the mice, and prolonged life.
Because I achieved the same results on humans, always treating with the permission of medical men of good standing, and under their observation.
In the research published Wednesday, doctors at the University of Pennsylvania say the treatment made the most common type of leukemia completely disappear in two of the patients and reduced it by 70 percent in the third. In each of the patients as much as five pounds of cancerous tissue completely melted away in a few weeks, and a year later it is still gone.
In developed countries like the United States, about 4 people in 10 with AIDS develop cancer at some time during their illness. But the cancer picture in HIV is changing. Kaposi sarcoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma have decreased as anti-HIV treatment has become more common. Effective anti-HIV treatment is one of the reasons for the decrease in some types of cancer among those with HIV.
