Factors associated with better outcome in NHL

(after adjusting for age, gender, aa-IPI, baseline CD4, histology type, chemotherapy type, and use of cART): Infusional chemotherapy was superior: EPOCH: improved CR rate, EFS, and OS CDE: improved OS Concurrent cART: higher CR rate and trend towards better OS

AIDS-associated Primary CNS Lymphoma

100% EBV+ Prognosis -Dismal, pre-HAART era (2 months) -Improving now (can be cured) Treatment -Methotrexate-based chemotherapy- reconstitution with cART administered during HD-MTX correlates with long-term survival among patients with CD4 <100 -Radiation therapy ___ Before antiretrovirals was very bad Now methotrexate can be curative

Plasmablastic Lymphoma (PBL)

80% are EBV+ in HIV (vs. 50% in non-HIV) 50% have MYC translocations or amplification B-cell: usually CD20 negative Largest retrospective study: N= 369 [Castillo et al. Blood. 2015 Apr 9;125(15):2323-30] -48% involve oral cavity/jaw, 12% gastrointestinal tract, and 6% skin -PBL was the initial HIV presentation in 7% of the patients ->65% had advanced disease (ie. stage III or IV) 112 HIV-positive patients: median OS 15 months, 3-year OS 25% Preferred treatment: probably EPOCH! ___ Rare Not recognized before HIV era Oral mass, rapidly growing- can obstruct airway and die without medical care Don't do as well as diffuse B cell lymphomas, still need to make headway on this one

Role of Rituximab (anti-CD20 antibody) in HIV NHL

AMC 010: Phase III CHOP vs. rituximab (R)-CHOP for HIV-DLBCL -Infection-related deaths: 14 in 95 patients who received rituximab (15%) vs. 1 in 47 treated with CHOP alone (2%) (p=0.02). -Most deaths were due to bacterial infections and when CD4+ lymphocyte count <50. -Similar trend seen in Phase II R-EPOCH and R-CDE clinical trials Barta et al. 2013: Rituximab improved outcomes when CD4 count ≥ 50 cells/mL ___ More death in rituximab arm (mostly CD4 <50) mostly due to infection Pts with ritux and chemo do better than no retux except if CD4 <50

Why Increased Cancer Risk in HIV/AIDS ?

Antigen-driven stimulation, somatic hyper mutations (B-cell lymphomas) Decreased immune surveillance: due "reduced body's ability to destroy cancer cells and fight infections that may lead to cancer" (Angeletti et al. Pharmacology 2008) Opportunistic oncogenic viruses !!! -Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) -Human Herpes Virus Type 8 (HHV-8, KSHV) -Human papilloma virus (HPV) ___ B cell lymphomas -higher accumulation of mutations as B cells rearrange genes Immune system plays huge role in controlling cancer (checkpoints etc) Viruses take advantage -diseases associated with it

Concurrent Chemotherapy and cART

Barta et al. 2013: Higher CR rate and trend towards better outcome with concurrent cART Drug interactions: Pay attention!!! -Avoid zidovudine (AZT) due to meylo-suppressive effects -CYP3A4 inhibitors: avoid ritonavir-boosted regimens (due to increased chemo drug levels) Always consult pharmacists and Infectious Disease specialist !!! ____ Antiretroviral + chemo: -was not good idea due to drug interactions -now pts tolerate regiments better, and more aware of interacitons -better survival when together

HTLV-1 associated Adult T-cell Leukemia-lymphoma (ATL)

Bcl-2) -LMP2 is essential for the survival of germinal center B cells lacking functional B-cell receptor EBV nuclear antigen-2 (EBNA-2): Transforms cells EBV-Encoded RNAs (EBERs): non-coding RNAs target innate immune signaling by blocking RNA-dependent protein kinase (PKR), which stops protein translation after viral infection ______ EBV has not captured human homologues Has oncogenic activity LMP1 mimics B cell receptor and sends signal for growth upregulating NFKP and anti apop like BCL2 LMP2 - in HL (aberrant cells that were destined to die) drop B cell receptor (destined to die) -but virus comes in and puts LMP2 that mimics B cell receptor EBNA- transforms cells; cells can become malignant EBERs- bind to molecules and target innate signaling (innate immunity)

HIV and Malignancy: Conclusions

Malignancies are more frequent behave more aggressively in HIV patients, and are often difficult to manage DLBCL, Burkitt, and Hodgkin lymphoma in HIV-AIDS can be cured upfront using standard chemotherapy. Other aggressive lymphomas (i.e. PCNSL, PBL, and HHV-8 related PEL) have poorer outcomes, but prognosis is improving in cART era Treatment should focus on preventive strategies (HIV, HPV), optimizing chemotherapy, and on development of novel therapies targeting the biology of these tumors (i.e. viruses, molecules)

NF-kB and its targets) -LANA: inhibits p53 and Rb proteins -vIRF1 and vIRF-3: inhibits interferon signaling ______ Has captured some human genes (homologues) -pro on/ pro inflam vBcl-2- ant apop FLI P also anti apop- blocks death receptor signal Cyclins drive the cell cycle GPCR is angiogenic (promotion of vessel growth) K-1- activates NFKB- prevents cell death LANA- inhibits tumor suppressors IRF- inhibits interferon signaling (part of innate immunity)
