Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the incidence of cancers in children living with HIV following the expansion of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Malawi.
Population-based study
Analysis of cancer incidence rates among children with HIV
Comparison of data before and after ART expansion
Significant reduction in pediatric HIV-associated cancers post-ART
Incidence rates comparable to those in high-income countries
Sustained improvements depend on early diagnosis and ART linkage

Implication

Population-based study shows reduced pediatric HIV-associated cancers in Malawi, indicating progress in treatment efforts.

Abstract

National ART expansion substantially reduced pediatric HIV-associated cancers in Malawi, achieving declines comparable with those seen in high-income countries. Sustained early diagnosis and ART linkage remain essential to sustain progress.
