Malignant lymphoma is still the leading cause of death among AIDS-related diseases.
We performed a retrospective analysis of 50 HIV-positive lymphoma patients. The median interval between HIV and malignant lymphoma diagnosis was 4 years. Eight patients (16%) had Hodgkin lymphoma and 42 (84%) non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Among non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (n = 18, 42%), Burkitt lymphoma (n = 11, 26%), and plasmoblastic lymphoma (n = 5, 12%) were the most frequent entities.
Lymphoma was treated according to standard protocols. Forty-four patients (88%) received combination antiretroviral therapy, 2 (4%) were not treated, and in 4 (8%) the HIV treatment status was not clarified. Response to first-line therapy was complete response (CR) in 24 (56%), partial response (PR) in 15 (35%), and stable disease in 1 (2%). Three patients (7%) developed progressive disease, and 9 (18%) experienced relapse after CR or PR. At a median observation period of 31 (range, 0.4-192) months, the 1-, 2-, and 5-year overall survival was 87%, 79%, and 76%, respectively. At univariate analysis, remission status after first-line treatment was predictive of outcome, as the 2-year overall survival was 95%, 66%, and 0 for patients with CR, with PR, and with progressive disease (P < .001). Results of the multivariate analysis revealed lactate dehydrogenase concentration at lymphoma diagnosis (P = .046) and relapse (P = .050) to be independent factors for overall survival.
First-line treatment of lymphoma in HIV positive patients is crucial. Patients who experienced and maintained a first CR had a favorable prognosis.
恶性淋巴瘤仍然是艾滋病相关疾病死亡的主要原因。
我们对 50 例 HIV 阳性淋巴瘤患者进行了回顾性分析。HIV 和恶性淋巴瘤诊断之间的中位间隔为 4 年。8 例(16%)为霍奇金淋巴瘤,42 例(84%)为非霍奇金淋巴瘤。在非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者中,弥漫性大 B 细胞淋巴瘤(n=18,42%)、伯基特淋巴瘤(n=11,26%)和浆母细胞淋巴瘤(n=5,12%)最为常见。
淋巴瘤根据标准方案进行治疗。44 例(88%)患者接受了联合抗逆转录病毒治疗,2 例(4%)未接受治疗,4 例(8%)患者的 HIV 治疗情况不详。一线治疗的反应为完全缓解(CR)24 例(56%),部分缓解(PR)15 例(35%),稳定 1 例(2%)。3 例(7%)患者出现疾病进展,9 例(18%)CR 或 PR 后复发。在中位观察期 31 个月(范围 0.4-192 个月)时,1、2 和 5 年总生存率分别为 87%、79%和 76%。单因素分析显示,一线治疗后的缓解状态是影响预后的因素,CR、PR 和疾病进展患者的 2 年总生存率分别为 95%、66%和 0(P<0.001)。多因素分析结果显示,淋巴瘤诊断时乳酸脱氢酶浓度(P=0.046)和复发(P=0.050)是总生存的独立因素。
HIV 阳性患者淋巴瘤的一线治疗至关重要。经历并维持首次 CR 的患者预后良好。
