Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has been successfully used in HIV-related lymphoma (HIV-Ly) patients on HAART. We report the first comparative analysis between HIV-Ly and a matched cohort of HIV(-) lymphoma patients. This retrospective EBMT study included 53 patients (66% non-Hodgkin (NHL) and 34% Hodgkin lymphoma (HL)) within each cohort. Both groups were comparable except for the higher proportion of males, mixed cellularity-HL and patients receiving G-CSF prior to engraftment and a smaller proportion receiving TBI-based conditioning within the HIV-Ly cohort. Incidence of relapse, overall and progression-free survival were similar in both cohorts. A higher non-relapse mortality within the first year post-ASCT was observed in the HIV-Ly group (8% vs 2%), predominantly due to early bacterial infections, although this was not statistically significant and did not influence survival. Thus, within the HAART era HIV patients should be considered for ASCT according to the same criteria adopted for HIV(-) lymphoma patients.
