RESUMO
Treatment outcomes for patients with HIV-related lymphoma have improved since the advent of combination antiretroviral therapy. Standard regimens, including intensive regimens, are being used with encouraging results in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, and primary central nervous system lymphoma. Approaches to salvage therapy also parallel those used in patients without HIV infection, including autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Drug interactions with particular antiretrovirals warrant close attention. At a population level, outcomes in patients with HIV infection and lymphoma remain inferior to outcomes achieved in the general population-but a great deal of progress has been made.

Tumor data from the ABCSG 5 trial of chemotherapy versus endocrine therapy for premenopausal ER+ breast cancer supports molecular subtyping by Ki-67 IHC as a prognostic marker. But while this tissue was handled uniformly, Ki-67 testing overall is unstandardized, complicating clinical utility. Increasing potential biomarkers herald more challenges in biomarker validation.See related article by Bago-Horvath et al., p. 5682.
