Registry-based studies provide valuable data regarding cancer risk among people with HIV/AIDS (PWHA). Such studies utilize the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) to estimate the relative risk (RR), an etiologically relevant measure. However, SIR may underestimate RR when HIV/AIDS prevalence in the general population or RR is high. We quantified the extent of this underestimation for 3 AIDS-related cancers: Kaposi sarcoma (KS), central nervous system non-Hodgkin lymphoma (CNS NHL) and cervical cancer.
