Project Description
Cancer is a leading cause of disability and death among HIV infected persons worldwide, and overall incidence of cancer in patients with HIV has increased annually since the widespread use of antiretroviral therapy. Through our long-standing collaboration between the Uganda Cancer Institute and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, we will train African research leaders to identify new strategies to prevent, diagnose, and treat HIV-associated malignancies in Uganda and other countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
