Regression of HIV-associated grade IV T cell lymphoma with combined antiretroviral therapy only
Abstract
The present report describes repeated long-term remissions of a high-grade T cell lymphoma in an HIV-positive patient upon cART only, without additional chemotherapy. A review of cases from the literature further illustrates the anti-tumor effects of cART through the induction of a strong immune reconstitution in HIV-infected patients.
