Impact of an enhanced screening program on the detection of non-AIDS neoplasias in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection

Abstract: Background The incidence of non-AIDS defining cancer (NADC) is higher in people living with HIV (PLWH) than in the general population, and it is already one of the leading causes of death in the HIV-infected population. It is estimated that the situation will be aggravated by the progressive aging of PLWH. Early diagnosis through intensive cancer screening may improve the ability for therapeutic interventions and could be critical in reducing mortality, but it might also increase expenditure an… Show more

“…There is an urgent need to extend the investigation in cancer screening performance to PWH, evaluating whether personalized measures according to individual risk could result in higher efficiency and improve patient outcomes. Randomized intervention studies that assess earlier initiation, more frequent testing, and include the most recent advances in cancer screening are needed to generate high‐level evidence on cancer surveillance tailored to PWH, and to fill existing knowledge gaps 69 . Nevertheless, owing to the challenges in attaining adequate statistical power to demonstrate a reduction in mortality within in this population, alternative approaches, such as modeling studies, should also be taken into consideration for evidence generation.…”

“…These patients often have unexplained fever or abnormal CBC, while pure PLWH may also have cytopenia [13] with varying degrees. Bone marrow aspiration examination is of great value for the diagnosis of secondary malignant tumors in PLWH [14], which can be used as a quick and de nite diagnostic tool, so that malignant tumors can be diagnosed as early as possible, timely and effective intervention treatment can be obtain, and mortality can be reduced [15][16][17][18]. Therefore, to strengthen the understanding of PLWH with secondary malignant tumors, improve the diagnosis rate, to achieve the early diagnosis and screening of PLWH with secondary malignant tumors, optimize the cancer treatment and management strategy, is conducive to prolong the survival of these patients [2; 19].…”

“…According to the published literature ( 2 ), the 5-year survival rate for BC is as high as 90% and cancer-specific mortality is steadily decreasing, but the proportion of deaths from non-cancer causes among women with BC is increasing ( 3 - 5 ). Therefore, identifying high risk factors for non-cancer deaths such as cardiovascular disease (CVD) ( 3 ), infections ( 6 ), suicide ( 7 ), and diabetes ( 8 ) has become critical for BC patients.…”
