Characteristics and Outcome of AIDS-Related Hodgkin Lymphoma Before and After the Introduction of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy
OBJECTIVES:We analyzed survival, therapeutic response, and prognostic factors in patients with HIV-related Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) treated or not with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). METHODS:This study included 104 patients with HL, treated (n = 83) or not (n = 21) with HAART. Outcomes a...

Zusammenfassung: | OBJECTIVES:We analyzed survival, therapeutic response, and prognostic factors in patients with HIV-related Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) treated or not with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
METHODS:This study included 104 patients with HL, treated (n = 83) or not (n = 21) with HAART. Outcomes and prognostic factors of complete remission (CR), overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS) were assessed by an intention-to-treat analysis of all patients who received at least 1 chemotherapy course.
RESULTS:No differences were found between groups at baseline in the specific characteristics of HIV and HL. The proportion of patients receiving appropriate-for-stage therapy for HL was similar for both groups. The CR rates in the HAART (−) and HAART (+) groups were 14 (70%) of 20 versus 71 (91%) of 78 (P = 0.023). The median OS in the HAART (−) group was 39 months (95% confidence interval [CI]0 to 89) and was not reached in the HAART (+) group (P = 0.0089). The median DFS in the HAART (−) group was 85 months (95% CI73 to 97) and was not reached in the HAART (+) group (P = 0.129). Factors independently associated with CR by logistic regression analysis were appropriate-for-stage therapy of HL, HAART, and baseline CD4 count ≥100 cells/μL. CR was the only factor independently associated with OS by Cox regression analysis.
CONCLUSIONS:The achievement of CR was independently associated with appropriate-for-stage therapy for HL, with HAART, and with a baseline CD4 count ≥100 cells/μL. The only variable independently associated with OS was the achievement of CR. |
