Understanding quality of life for people living with HIV and cancer
Official title: Health-related quality of life and patient reported outcomes among people living with HIV and cancer
Funded at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Ctr & Res Inst · NIH-10758118 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking at how having HIV impacts the quality of life and health for people who also have cancer, and it wants to hear directly from patients about their experiences to help improve their care and well-being.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research are adults aged 21 and older who are living with HIV and have been diagnosed with cancer.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who are not living with HIV or do not have a cancer diagnosis may not receive any benefit from this research.
What this research studies
This research investigates how living with HIV affects the quality of life and health outcomes for individuals who also have cancer. It focuses on collecting patient-reported outcomes (PROs), which are insights shared directly by patients about their symptoms, physical abilities, and overall well-being. By integrating these PROs into cancer care, the research aims to identify factors that contribute to poorer cancer outcomes and survival rates among people living with HIV. The goal is to improve supportive care and ultimately enhance the quality of life for these patients.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved cancer care strategies that enhance the quality of life and survival rates for patients living with both HIV and cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited research specifically addressing PROs among people living with HIV and cancer, similar approaches in other patient populations have shown promising results in improving health outcomes.
