Outline
• The history of cancer in the HIV epidemic• Definition of AIDS-defining and non-AIDS defining cancers• The epidemiology of cancers in persons with HIV• Specific AIDS-associated malignancies
– Cervical Cancer– Anal Cancer– Hepatocellular Carcinoma– Lung Cancer– Kaposi Sarcoma– Lymphoma
• Prevention and Treatment Strategies
Case 1
54 year old man presents with several painless, raised, purple lesions on the chest, back and in the groin
Case 1: Additional History
• History of Hairy Cell Leukemia, in remission for 5 years after treatment with cladaribine and an experimental agent at the National Cancer Institute
• In steady relationship with male partner for 3 years
• Tested HIV-negative one week after starting present relationship
Case 1: KS
• HIV test: positive EIA, confirmed by Western Blot
• CD4 count: 96• HIV viral load: >500,000
copies• Follow-up:
– Improving after starting tenofovir, emtricitabine and Kaletra
KS in the HAART Era
• The reduced incidence of KS is one of the most dramatic effects of HAART
• Not attributable to decreased HHV-8 prevalenceOsmond DH, et al. Jama 2002; 287:221-5.
• May be due to immune reconstitution, or direct antiviral effect of ART on HHV-8
SEER Cancer Registry and JNCI 2000; 92:1827

ART HIV KS -- Men KS--Women
No change in KS incidence in Uganda despite over 100,000 persons started on HAART
Current Treatment for KS in Resource-Rich Settings is Inadequate
Nguyen HQ, et. al. AIDS 2008
Current Treatment of KS in Resource-Poor Settings is Inadequate
• 177 patients with HIV-associated KS seen at the Infectious Disease Institute followed for 2 years• Over 1 year, 70% improved with ART and/or chemotherapy, but only 8% resolved• Associated with improvement: male sex, HAART, and chemotherapy• Less likely to improve: low BMI and lesions located on the lower extremities • Among patients on HAART, those receiving efavirenz- and protease inhibitor-containing HAART
were 6.9 (95% CI: 1.7-27, p=0.006) and 15 times (95% CI: 1.3-183, p=0.03) more likely to experience resolution compared to those receiving Triomune (stavudine-lamivudine-nevirapine).

The History of an Epidemic…• In 1981, the description of 8 young men
in New York City with a previously rare cancer, Kaposi Sarcoma (KS), heralded the beginning of the HIV epidemic
• Hymes KB, et. al. Lancet 1981; 2:598-600.
• By 1983, one of every 3 persons with HIV in the United States had KS
• In 1994, KS attributed to infection with human herpesvirus 8
• Chang Y, et. al. Science 1994; 266:1865-9.
• Within one year of widespread availability of HAART in US, incidence dropped 10-fold
• Eltom MA, J Natl Cancer Inst 2002;94:1204-10.
• Today, KS is the most common cancer in the entire population of Uganda, and the most common cancer among persons with HIV worldwide
• IARC Sci Publ 2002;155:1-781• Eltom MA, J Natl Cancer Inst 2002;94:1204-10.

Risk of AIDS-Defining Cancers in HIV Patients vs. General Population
• Meta-analysis of over 444,000 persons with HIV in resource-rich regions consistently found standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of AIDS-defining cancers up to 3600 times that of the general population– KS: 3640 (95% CI 3226-3975)– Cervical Cancer: 5.3 (3.58-7.57)– NHL: 22.60 (20.77-24.55)
Grulich A, Lancet 2007
Winning the Battle Against HIV…• Mortality has dropped dramatically among persons with
HIV in the highly active antiretroviral era• Persons living with HIV have a nearly normal risk of
death when compared with HIV-negative persons…
Mocroft A, et. al. Lancet 2003
Mocroft A, et al. Lancet 2003;362:22-9
…But Losing the War to Cancer?Resource-Rich Regions
• In 2000, nearly 1/3rd of deaths among French patients with HIV were attributable to cancer– 15% due to “AIDS-malignancies”– 13% due to “non-AIDS malignancies”
• Bonnet F, et. al. Cancer. 2004; Jul 15;101(2):317-24

HIV-Related Immunosuppression and Cancer Risk
Biggar R, JNCI 2007
HIV-Associated Malignancies:Change in Incidence Over Epidemic “Eras”
Powles, et. al. JCO 2009
Not All Immunosuppression is the Same…
Incidence of AIDS-Associated Cancers in Resource-Poor Settings
•Case-control study of cancer in 3 major tertiary care centers in South Africa reviewed odds of HIV infection in 8,487 cancers since 1999 (Stein, et. al. Intl. J Cancer 2008)
Cancer Incidence Trends in Uganda, 1992-2005
Case 2
• 45 year old Kenyan woman with B3 HIV (CD4 375, HIV RNA 51,000, not on ART) presents for routine annual PAP
• Found to have high-grade squamous epithelial lesion (HSIL)
• Referred for colposcopy, where biopsy reveals CIN III
• Treated with surgical ablation, topical flurouricil, and intiation of HAART
Cervical Cancer in the HAART Era
• In the Women’s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), both increasing HIV plasma RNA levels and decreasing CD4 counts were associated with an increased risk of abnormal cervical cytology
– Massad LS, et al. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr. 1999 May 1;21(1):33-41
• The use of HAART was associated with an increased rate of “regression” over six months (two normal Pap smears)
– Ahdieh-Grant L, et al J Natl Cancer Inst. 2004 Jul 21;96(14):1070-6
Cervical Cancer Screening in HIV-Positive Patients
• Cervical cancer screening twice in the first year after diagnosis of HIV infection and then annually, provided the test results are normal.
• HPV testing?– Increased frequency of testing (q6 months?) if
positive for high-risk strain
• Some recommend a screening colposcopy at initial evaluation
Case 3
• 51 year old Caucasian male with history of C3 HIV (current CD4 405, HIV RNA undetectable) presents with rectal bleeding– Presented with AIDS-dementia with CD4 count of 7 in
2000, treated successfully with AZT / lamivudine / Kaletra
• On rectal exam, large verrucous lesion originating from the posterior half of the anus or from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock position, originating from multiple narrow pedicles.
Anal Cancer in the HAART Era• Risk of anal cancer among HIV-
positive men who have sex with men is 60-fold higher than the general population
Frisch M, et al. J Natl Cancer Inst. 2000; 92:1500-10
• Grade of squamous intraepithelial lesions may be correlated with degree of immunosuppression in both men and womenMathews WC. Top HIV Med. 2003 Mar-Apr;11(2):45-9
• Effective HAART use may not be associated with a decline in anal dysplasia / cancerPiketty C, et. al. Sex Transm Dis. 2004 Feb;31(2):96-9
Screening for HPV / Anal Cancer
• Serologic HPV testing is unreliable• 93% of HIV-infected men and 76% of women may have
HPV DNA detected in the anal mucosa (poor positive predictive value), usually type 16
• Matthews WC. Top HIV Med. 2003 Mar-Apr;11(2):45-9
• Anal Pap tests have poor reproducibility, but any abnormal cytology on Pap smear is suggestive of high grade lesions on biopsy
• Panther LR, et. al. Clin Infect Dis. 2004 May 15;38(10):1490-2
• No good evidence that treating high grade lesions prevents anal cancer, and recurrences are common
Algorithm for Anal Cancer Screening?
Chin-Hong PV, CID 2002
Case 4
• 41 year old man with B2 HIV (last CD4 311, HIV RNA undetectable on Atripla) presents with 20 pound weight loss over the last 3 months
• History of untreated hepatitis C virus infection and cirrhosis on liver biopsy
• Non-compliant with annual ultrasound and alpha-fetoprotein screening
HCC in the HAART Era
• Co-infection with HIV and viral hepatitis (B and C) could result in an epidemic of hepatocellular carcinoma in long term survivors of HIV
• Suppression of HBV or HCV replication is associated with reduced risk of cancer
• Patients with HIV may be between 2-8 times more likely to develop hepatocellular carcinoma when compared with the general population
Chiao E, et al. Curr Opin Oncol 2003:15; 389
Case 5
• 43 year old Cambodian man with A3 HIV (last CD4 621, HIV RNA undetectable on Atripla) presents with fevers of 3 weeks duration but no other symptoms
• Solitary pulmonary nodule detected on chest x-ray and confirmed on CT scan
Case 5: CT Scan
Lung Cancer in the HAART Era
• HIV-infected patients may be at 1.5-4.5 times increased risk of lung cancer compared with the general population
• May be attributable to:– High rates of tobacco use?
• Two studies have found risk to be independent of tobacco use
– Permissive cytokine milieu by HIV (Tat, etc.)– Differences in DNA methylation patterns
Chiao E, et al. Curr Opin Oncol 2003:15; 389
Prostate Cancer in the HAART Era
• Large series have found conflicting evidence for an increased rate of prostate cancer among persons with HIV
– Chiao E, et al. Curr Opin Oncol 2003:15; 389
• One study found a relationship between duration of HIV infection and prostate cancer, suggesting that prostate cancer may become an issue among long-term survivors of HIV
– Crum NF, et. al. Cancer 2004: 101; 294-9
Case 6
• 31 year old Ethiopian woman with C3 HIV (AIDS-defining illness = KS, current CD4 981 HIV RNA undetectable on Atripla) presents with fevers of 6 months duration, weight loss of 15 kg, fatigue
• Exam reveals diffuse lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly
• Complete blood count reveals pancytopenia
Case 6 – CT Scan of Abdomen Showing Massive Splenomegaly and Lymphadenopathy
NHL in the HAART Era• Reduction in all types of NHL is not uniform
– Those associated with EBV show the greatest decline
JNCI 2000; 92:1827 and Eltom MA, et al. JNCI 2002; 94:1204-10

Conclusions about NHL in Uganda
• Profound increase in the incidence of NHL since 1992• Large proportion of NHL patients are HIV-infected, and
treatment of HIV is associated with successful treatment of NHL
• Majority of patients with NHL present with late-stage disease
• Chemotherapy and ART afford a reasonable odds of survival for those who can access optimal treatment courses

Vaccines to Prevent Viral Associated Malignancies: EBV
• Antibodies to a glycoprotein on the surface of EBV, gp350, neutralize infection and transformation of lymphoid cells
• Cross-sectional studies have shown that all persons asymptomatically infected with EBV possess neutralizing antibodies.
• Neutralizing antibody levels are reduced in persons with EBV-associated malignancies
– 1/3rd of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and 1/5th of those with Hodgkin’s disease lacked EBV neutralizing antibodies
– The geometric mean titer of EBV neutralizing antibodies was over 3-fold higher in asymptomatically infected
• Antibodies raised to gp350 through vaccination were protective against EBV-induced malignant lymphoma in monkeys

Helicobacter pylori •Mucosal associated lymphatic tumor
•Antibiotic therapy associated with successful treatment of early (and late?) gastric and intestinal tumors
Antivirals in the Prevention and Treatment of EBV-Associated Lymphomas
• High-dose aciclovir was ineffective in the prevention of lymphoma among HIV-infected persons– OR 0.83, insufficient power due to small number of cases
– Ioannidis JP, et al. J Infect Dis. 1998 Aug;178(2):349-59
• Ganciclovir use is associated with the regression of EBV-associated lymphoma in combination with chemotherapy and antiretroviral therapy
– Raez L, et al. AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses. 1999 May 20;15(8):713-9. – Brockmeyer NH, et al. Eur J Med Res. 1997 Mar 24;2(3):133-5.– Aboulafia DM. Clin Infect Dis. 2002 Jun 15;34(12):1660-2.
Antiviral Medications Against HHV-8
• In a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study of valganciclovir’s effect on HHV-8 oropharyngeal replication, 46% reduction in detection of HHV-8 in oropharynx during valganciclovir administration (p=0.02)

Conclusions
• The increasing survival of HIV-infected patients may predispose to an epidemic of malignancies among long-term survivors
– AIDS-Defining: KS, Cervical Cancer, Lymphoma– Non-AIDS-Defining: Anal, lung, prostate, and hepatocellular cancer
• HAART use may be associated with declines in some, but not all, malignancies in persons with HIV
– In addition to AIDS-defining malignancies, may reduce cervical and anal cancer
• Effective screening and prevention measures have yet to be defined for the non-AIDS-defining malignancies in HIV-infected persons, but may be inferred from those in HIV-negative high risk persons
• Vaccines and antiviral therapy may come to play an increasing role in the prevention and treatment of virally-mediated cancers
