Management of HIV-associated Hodgkin lymphoma: How far we have come

摘要

Although Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is not considered an AIDS-defining malignancy, population-based studies have demonstrated an increased incidence of this disease in the setting of HIV infection. In a prospective cohort study of 11,112 individuals who were positive for HIV, with 71,687 patient-years of follow-up, the incidence of HL was 14 times higher than in the general population.
