When cancer was diagnosed patients presented: CD4 80% KS patients and 66.7% head-neck cancer had CD4 Conclusions 3.7% of HIV patients on treatment developed neoplasms, more than 50% were NADC, of which 88% started in patients with an undetectable VL, confirming a nice immunological status when cancer was diagnosed.
