Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection mainly attacks the human immune system, causing a variety of opportunistic infections and tumors, among which neoplastic diseases are serious and life-threatening. In recent years, with the popularization of highly effective anti-retroviral virus, the disease spectrum of HIV infected people has changed greatly, the incidence of non-acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) related tumors has increased significantly, and the diagnosis rate of esophageal cancer patients with HIV/AIDS has also increased. However, there is no consensus on how to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer patients with HIV/AIDS. This article reviews the epidemiological characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of esophageal cancer patients with HIV/AIDS.
