Article Synopsis
- Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is the most prevalent cancer among HIV patients, predominantly affecting those in developing countries like Peru, yet most existing research focuses on developed regions.
- This study analyzed outcomes in HIV-positive patients with NHL treated at a Peruvian institution from 2004 to 2014, comparing antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naïve patients to those previously treated with ART.
- Key findings indicated that ART-exposed patients had worse overall survival rates, with significant factors influencing prognosis being advanced disease stage, low serum albumin levels, and in ART-naïve individuals, patients over 60 years old fared worse, though they still had better outcomes than those who were ART-exposed.
