AIDS-related cancers, part II: systemic and cerebral lymphomas
Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London, UK
Cancer remains a common cause of morbidity and mortality in the 60 million people worldwide who have been infected with HIV-1. Part I of this article, which appeared in our November/December 2005 issue, focused on Kaposi’s sarcoma and cervical cancer and discussed the issue of cytotoxic treatment, including the fact that it is complicated by underlying immunoparesis, and options are often limited. Improvement in outcomes was detailed. In Part II, the epidemiology and management of systemic AIDS-related lymphoma and primary cerebral lymphomas are discussed.
