Lymphomas NHL most common malignancy associate HIV post cart era. AIDS-related lymphoma are of B lymphocyte origin in 95%. AIDS-associated lymphoma: AIDS-associated Hodgkin AIDS-associated Non-Hodgkin (NHL) Systemic non-hodgkin lymphoma (most common) (~ 80%) Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) (~ 15-10%) Primary effusion ("body cavity") lymphomas (rare) Most common (80%): diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; 20% remaining: small noncleaved cell (such Burkitt) Majority of AIDS-NHL clinically aggressive. HIV immunosuppression and coinfection with EBV seem to drive B cell clonal expansion thus consider marrow biopsy if no other sites 80% present with Stage IV disease Knowles DM.

Worse prognosis, more likely in younger and black Diagnostic approaches Cranial CT or MRI scan Most important differential diagnosis: toxoplasmosis Stereotatic brain biopsy essential for diagnosis If biopsy not possible, EBV PCR of CSF is useful, 100% sensitive, 80% specific Therapeutic approaches Traditional: radiation (4000 5000 cgy) 10% 1yr survival High dose methotrexate based chemotherapy Non AIDS patients: shows promise High dose ZDV + GCV +/ IL 2 may have benefit (JAIDS 1999;15:713 19) 3
Lymphomas Primary Efusion Lymphoma (PEL) PEL or body cavity lymphoma, rare aggressive HHV 8 driven variant of HIV related lymphoma. Most cases are dually infected with HHV8 and EBV Effusions in serosal cavities: pleural, pericardium, and peritoneum and no solid tumor. Lymphoproliferative disorder 1% to 5% HIV related lymphomas Increased levels of IL 6 and HHV 8 (PML s) Poor prognosis, median survival 5 months. Cesarman E et al.

Risk of Hodgkin lymphoma by CD4 count Clifford and Franceschi, 2009 Treatment HIV associated Lymphoma Management of patients with HIV and lymphoma considerably more complex Historically, doses of chemotherapy were restricted: cellular immunodeficiency and limited bone marrow reserve Concomitant ART may improve bone marrow function, thereby allowing for full dosing of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy produces a significant and sustained reduction in CD4 cell counts and an increased risk of OI s. Medications taken to control the HIV infection may have side effects that overlap with chemotherapy side effects. Straus DJ. Human immunodeficiency virus associated lymphomas.

Therapeutic Approaches for AIDS Related NHL Outgrowth of lymphoma treatment in general Multiple agent, non cross resistant chemotherapy Increase dose intensity (infusional therapy, high dose or multiple drugs) Central nervous system treatment or prophylaxis Supportive antibiotics and hematopoietic growth factors Importance of HAART Standard regimen: CHOP Dose adjusted EPOCH Mounier N, Spina M, Gisselbrecht C.

Cancer 2006; 106:1560. Prophylaxis for opportunistic infections During treatment with combination chemotherapy, ART should be continued along with prophylaxis for PCP. Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) prophylaxis may be appropriate for selected patients with severe immunocompromise (ie, CD4 <50/microL). Antibiotic prophylaxis for enteric organisms during neutropenia is strongly encouraged. Given the high incidence of recurrent HSV, VZV, and Candida infections in this population, antiviral and antifungal prophylaxis is also recommended Sparano JA, Hu X, Wiernik PH, et al.

Summary: Treatment of HIV Asssociated Lymphoma Over the past 10 years, significant progress has been made in understanding HIV associated lymphomas and improving the prognosis of these diseases. With the advent of combination antiretroviral therapy and the development of novel therapeutic strategies, most patients with HIV associated lymphomas are cured. The outcome for the majority of patients with HIV associated diffuse large B cell lymphoma and Burkitt lymphoma in particular, is excellent, with recent studies supporting the role of rituximab in these diseases. Indeed, in the combination antiretroviral therapy era, the curability of many patients with HIVassociated lymphoma is similar to their HIV negative counterparts. New treatment frontiers need to focus on improving the outcome for patients with advanced immune suppression and for those with adverse tumor biology, such as the activated B cell type of diffuse large B cell lymphoma and the virally driven lymphomas.
