Title:
Assessment of Bone Mineral Density in People Living with HIV and KSHV Associated Malignancies: A Retrospective Longitudinal Analysis
Study Description:
This is a retrospective review that includes all participants with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PWH) affected by Kaposi sarcoma (KS), KSHV-associated multicentric Castleman disease, and KSHV associated inflammatory cytokine syndrome enrolled on the tissue procurement study (01-C-0038) and other treatment protocols within the HIV/AIDS Malignancy Branch at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) from 1/1/2005 to 12/1/2020.
Objectives:
To determine the factors that are associated with bone mineral density (BMD) loss in PWH and KSHV associated malignancies.
Study Population:
All patients seen at the NIH from 1/1/2005 to 12/1/2020.
Description of Sites/Facilities conducting research:
This is a single site study initiated by the HIV/AIDS Malignancy Branch at the National Cancer Institute
Study Duration:
