Recent case reports have suggested that the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) may be associated with cancers other than Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). We have used the population-based registries of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program to examine these relationships on a statistical basis by comparing the morbidity odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for specific cancer sites in pre- and post-AIDS time periods. Among never-married 20- to 49-year-old men, a surrogate group representing homosexual men, significant increases in the morbidity OR's for KS between 1973-80 and 1981-82 were apparent in the San Francisco standard metropolitan statistical area (OR: 51.8; CI: 18.6-143.6) and in other areas covered by the SEER Program (OR: 18.6; CI: 2.2-154.5). Furthermore, a significant increase was found in the morbidity OR for Burkitt-like lymphoma in the San Francisco metropolitan area (OR: 9.1; CI: 1.8-45.6). In San Francisco County (which includes the City of San Francisco), there was a 2,043-fold increase in the morbidity OR for KS and a fivefold increase for Burkitt-like lymphomas, but there were no significant changes for other cancers between 1973-79 and 1982. Similarly, no significant changes in morbidity OR's were observed for other cancers in the remaining SEER registries. These findings provided statistical support for the excess risk of Burkitt-like lymphoma in a group at risk of AIDS.
