Is peripheral stem cell mobilization followed by autologous stem
cell transplantation (ASCT) feasible in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)- associated lymphoma (HIV-L)?
Studies have demonstrated that, in the HIV- negative
(HIV ) setting, ASCT may improve lymphoma-free survival in
high-risk non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or relapsed Hodgkin
disease (HD) and NHL. Given the poor prognosis of HIV-L with
conventional chemotherapy, this dose-intensive approach was explored.
Nine patients with HIV-HD or NHL mobilized a median of
10.6 × 106 CD34+ cells/kg and engrafted
after ASCT. CD4 counts recovered to pretransplantation levels and HIV
viral loads were controlled in patients compliant with antiretroviral
therapy. Seven of 9 patients remain in remission from their lymphoma at
a median of 19 months after transplantation. Thus, patients with HIV-L
on antiretroviral therapy can engraft following ASCT. Prolonged
lymphoma remissions, without significant compromise of immune function,
can be seen, suggesting that ASCT can be used in selected patients with
HIV-L.
