Among the most common HIV-associated lymphomas are Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with immunoblastic-plasmacytoid differentiation (also involving the central nervous system). Lymphomas occurring specifically in HIV-positive patients include primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) and its solid variants, plasmablastic lymphoma of the oral cavity type and large B-cell lymphoma arising in Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV)–associated multicentric Castleman disease. These lymphomas together with BL and DLBCL with immunoblastic-plasmacytoid differentiation frequently carry EBV infection and display a phenotype related to plasma cells. EBV infection occurs at different rates in different lymphoma types, whereas KSHV is specifically associated with PEL, which usually occurs in the setting of profound immunosuppression. The current knowledge about HIV-associated lymphomas can be summarized in the following key points: (1) lymphomas specifically occurring in patients with HIV infection are closely linked to other viral diseases; (2) AIDS lymphomas fall in a spectrum of B-cell differentiation where those associated with EBV or KSHV commonly exhibit plasmablastic differentiation; and (3) prognosis for patients with lymphomas and concomitant HIV infection could be improved using better combined chemotherapy protocols in-corporating anticancer treatments and antiretroviral drugs.

Objective: To characterize the therapeutic variables correlated to outcome in 370 patients with primary CNS lymphoma. Methods: Planned treatment was radiotherapy (RT) in 98 patients, chemotherapy (CHT) in 32, RT followed by CHT in 36, and CHT followed by RT in 197 patients. High-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX; 1 to 8 g/m2) was used in 169 patients and intrathecal CHT in 109. Results: One hundred sixteen patients are alive (median follow-up 24 months), with a 2-year overall survival of 37%. Patients treated with CHT followed by RT had improved survival with respect to patients treated with RT alone. Patients receiving HD-MTX–based primary CHT survived longer than those treated with other drugs. HD-MTX associated with other cytostatics, in particular HD-cytarabine, produced better results than HD-MTX alone. No correlation between MTX dose and survival was found. In patients receiving HD-MTX, consolidation RT or intrathecal CHT did not improve survival. Age, performance status, lactate dehydrogenase serum level, CSF protein level, site of disease, and use of HD-MTX were all predictors of survival. Conclusions: Combination CHT-RT is superior to RT alone. Patients treated with primary CHT containing HD-MTX exhibited improved survival. In these patients, the addition of HD-cytarabine was associated with a better survival, whereas intrathecal CHT was not correlated to outcome. RT may be unnecessary in patients achieving complete remission after receiving HD-MTX–based primary CHT.
