 AB    The physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual pain experienced by
       many people diagnosed with a malignancy, their significant others and
       those who care for them, can be enormous. A diagnosis of cancer when
       made in an individual who has tested positive for the Human
       Immunedeficency Virus (HIV) comes as a double blow. Not only do they
       have to deal with the cancer diagnosis but also with the knowledge that
       they have an Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) defining illness.
       The challenges this situation presents to the medical and nursing staff
       vary and will depend on the individual and also the type of malignancy
       that person develops. Lymphoma, Kaposi's sarcoma and cervical carcinoma
       are the more common malignancies diagnosed in this patient population.
       The aim of this presentation is to explore some of the challenges which
       arise when confronted with malignant disease and HIV.
