  • Title: Human immunodeficiency virus-associated Hodgkin's disease.
    Author: Spina M, Vaccher E, Nasti G, Tirelli U.
    Journal: Semin Oncol; 2000 Aug; 27(4):480-8. PubMed ID: 10950375.
    Abstract:
    Hodgkin's disease represents the most common type of non-acquired immunodeficiency virus (AIDS)-defining tumor that occurs in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive population. More than 300 cases of Hodgkin's disease in HIV-infected individuals have been reported, mainly from the European countries (ie, Italy, Spain, and France) and to a lesser extent from the United States. All series have documented unusually aggressive tumor behavior, including a higher frequency of unfavorable histologic subtypes, advanced stages, and poorer therapeutic outcome, as compared with the behavior of Hodgkin's disease outside of the HIV setting.
