A2 - Fojo, Tito Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Hematology-Oncology Therapy, 3e AB - HIV increases the risk of several cancers, including Kaposi sarcoma, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, classical Hodgkin lymphoma, HPV-associated cancers (eg, cervical, anal), lung cancer, and oropharyngeal cancer. As people with HIV are aging, incidental cancers also occur in this patient population. Oncologists should be aware of the principles of treating cancer in people living with HIV. Treating these patients requires a multidisciplinary approach that takes into account potential drug-drug interactions and appropriate supportive care. Antiretroviral therapy is almost always indicated, and prophylaxis against opportunistic infections is sometimes required. In general, cancers in people living with HIV should be treated in the same manner as HIV-negative patients, and HIV alone should not be used as a reason to offer less aggressive cancer therapy. Treatments for Kaposi sarcoma, Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus-associated multicentric Castleman disease, and HIV-related lymphomas are discussed in detail in this chapter. ART is an essential part of the treatment of HIV, regardless of CD4+ T cell count, to reduce the morbidity and mortality of HIV infection. ART may be sufficient in treating many cases of HIV-KS. Guidelines for the use of antiretroviral therapy can be found at www.aidsinfo.nih.gov (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).
