[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS VLomvR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. To identify cancers that occur at higher rates in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, the cancer experience of New York State (NYS) AIDS patients aged 15-69 years who were diagnosed between 1981 and 1994 was compared with that of the NYS general population. Sex and HIV risk group-specific standardized incidence ratios (SIRs), post-AIDS relative risks, and trends of relative risks were calculated to determine cancer risk. Among non-AIDS-related cancers, elevated SIRs were found for Hodgkin's disease (male, 8.0 ; female, 6.4 ; heterosexually infected males, 31.3) ; cancer of the rectum, rectosigmoid, and anus (male, 3.3 ; female, 3.0) ; trachea, bronchus, and lung (male, 3.3 ; female, 7.5) ; and brain and central nervous system (male, 3.1 ; female, 3.4 ; heterosexually infected females, 23.8) cancers. Moreover, significant trends of increasing relative risks from the pre-AIDS to the post-AIDS period were found for cancers of the rectum, rectosigmoid, and anus ; trachea, bronchus, and lung ; skin ; and connective tissues (all sites, p
