Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome-Related Cancers: the Community Perspective Michael Marco * * Correspondence to: Michael Marco, Treatment Action Group, 105 West 73rd St., Apartment 1D, New York, NY 10023. Those individuals who work for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) community-based organizations (treatment education, dissemination, advocacy, and care) and the people with AIDS whom they represent are commonly referred to as the “AIDS community.” While the primary interest of the AIDS community is safe and effective antiretroviral therapy, many of us are concerned with the opportunistic neoplasms that affect approximately 25% of people with AIDS. The community's perspective on AIDS-related cancers can be summarized as follows: 1) It's about time the National Cancer Institute (NCI) got its act together. 2) How and when are diseases such as AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma going to be cured and prevented? 3) Until then, how can we be sure that we will receive the best medical care for these cancers and the underlying human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection? With regard to NCI's finally getting its act together, my perception is that the AIDS community is pleased that there has been a change in leadership at the NCI. The previous era gave us zidovudine (AZT) and didanosine, but unfortunately little was done when it came to AIDS-related cancers. Many of us have wondered why the NCI—with its 250 million dollars in AIDS research funds—is doing so little extramurally to address these cancers. There are some in the AIDS community who trace this failure to the division of labor among the various institutes of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) regarding AIDS. More recently, the NCI should be praised for spearheading new research initiatives on AIDS-related cancers. The NCI recently formed the AIDS Malignancy Consortium (AMC), a clinical trials network that concentrates solely on AIDS-related cancers. In its first year of operation, the AMC already has five studies open to treat either Kaposi's sarcoma or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; two of these studies use conventional chemotherapy together … (Full Text of this Article) « Previous | Next Article » Table of Contents This Article J Natl Cancer Inst Monogr (1998) 1998 (23): 21-22.
