A preliminary comparison of the reported incidence of Kaposi's sarcoma among males under 60 years of age residing in San Francisco was conducted using merged San Francisco AIDS Registry and California Tumor Registry (CTR) data. For the years 1980-1986, the number of cases reported by both registries was similar. However, only 961 (72.3%) of the 1,330 cases appearing in either registry appeared in both. Of the 160 Kaposi's sarcoma cases in the AIDS registry only, 11 (6.9%) were included in the CTR with another cancer diagnosis. Of the 209 Kaposi's sarcoma cases occurring only in the CTR, 109 (52.2%) were included in the AIDS registry with another diagnosis. The number of cases included in either or both registries was about 20% more than in either alone. Data sharing between the staff of these registries is precluded by confidentiality constraints.
利用旧金山艾滋病登记处与加利福尼亚肿瘤登记处（CTR）的合并数据，对居住在旧金山的60岁以下男性中卡波西肉瘤的报告发病率进行了初步比较。在1980 - 1986年期间，两个登记处报告的病例数相似。然而，在两个登记处中出现的1330例病例中，只有961例（72.3%）同时出现在两个登记处。仅在艾滋病登记处的160例卡波西肉瘤病例中，有11例（6.9%）在CTR中被纳入了另一种癌症诊断。仅在CTR中出现的209例卡波西肉瘤病例中，有109例（52.2%）在艾滋病登记处被纳入了另一种诊断。在两个登记处之一或两个登记处都包含的病例数比仅在其中一个登记处的病例数多约20%。由于保密限制，这些登记处的工作人员之间无法进行数据共享。
