“…Previous studies have reported on other methods of treatment including radiotherapy (brachytherapy and external beam radiotherapy) [11] and open prostatectomy [13] in HIV patients with prostate cancer. While the literature shows radiotherapy as most common method of treatment in HIV patients [12,13], our data represent patients treated with robotic prostatectomy.…”

“…Despite the notable prevalence of HIV and prostate cancer, there is relatively little literature about prostate cancer in HIV-positive patients and their outcomes. Only few reports are available in the literature on the clinicopathological characteristics, treatment modalities and outcomes of HIV-positive patients with prostate cancer [8][9][10][11][12][13]. However, with the widespread use of prostate specific antigen (PSA) and improved survival of the HIV-positive patients, more HIV-positive men are probably diagnosed with prostate cancer in the near future [13].…”

“…[19][20] Radical retropubic prostatectomy, 21 laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, 22 cryosurgery, 22 external beam radiation therapy, 23 brachytherapy 24 and active surveillance 22 have been reported for HIVpositive men with localized PCa and found to be generally safe and efficacious in the short term. 17 The oncological risk posed by PCa in the HIV-positive cohort did not differ significantly from the non-HIVpositive cohort, based on a variety of prognostic data including PSA value, clinical tumor stage, biopsy Gleason sum, D'Amico risk stratification and pathological tumor grade or stage.…”

The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) in prostate cancer (PCa) patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This is a prospective cohort study of HIV patients undergoing RALP, comparing the demographics, tumor characteristics, complications, and short-term oncological outcomes of HIV-positive men to HIV-negative men using univariate (v 2 , Mann-Whitney test) and multivariable (logistic regression) analyses. From 2007 to 2010, 298 men underwent RALP, 8 of whom were known to be HIV positive. Preoperatively, all eight were taking highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and had undetectable viral loads (o50); mean CD4 count was 634 cells per mm 3 . HIV-positive men were younger (54 versus 62 years, P ¼ 0.010) and less likely to be white (P ¼ 0.007). There were no significant differences between groups with respect to clinical staging, pathological and oncological outcomes or most complication rates. However, the prevalence of perioperative transfusions (P ¼ 0.031) and ileus (P ¼ 0.021) were higher in HIV-positive patients. HIV remained significantly associated with risk of transfusion after adjustment for age, race, Gleason sum and clinical T stage (P ¼ 0.002). After a median of 2.6 (range 0.03-19.2) months of follow-up, PSA remained undetectable in all eight HIV patients. These data suggest that RALP is safe for, and demonstrates short-term oncological efficacy in, HIV-positive patients with PCa.

“…In a more recent study evaluating the role of brachytherapy and radiotherapy in HIV/PCa patients, Ng et al 9 demonstrated that brachytherapy is a safe short-term intervention. They conducted a retrospective study of 14 PCa/HIV patients; 2 received EBRT, 4 received brachytherapy and 8 underwent a combination of the two.…”

Malignancy occurs with increased frequency in the HIV-positive population. The true incidence of prostate cancer in this population is unknown. In the few cases that have been presented in the literature, prostate cancer in HIV-positive men appears to behave much like it does in HIV-negative men. Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men and the second leading cause of cancer death. Approximately 800 000 men in the United States are HIV positive, and innovative therapies have dramatically improved survival. HIV disproportionately impacts ethnic groups with increased risk of prostate cancer and has been associated with increases in the incidence of certain malignancies. Despite the high prevalence of both diseases, there is relatively little literature about prostate cancer in HIV-positive patients. There is no consensus on how to screen or treat this patient population. We review the literature with regards to incidence, screening, treatment, and outcomes of this poorly characterized population. We briefly discuss the impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy and testosterone supplementation in the development of prostate cancer. A systematic review of the literature was conducted using MEDLINE key words 'HIV,' 'prostate,' 'prostate cancer' and 'AIDS.' Manual bibliographic review of cross-referenced items was also performed. A total of 176 unique abstracts and publications were reviewed; many authors provided data on the incidence of HIV and various malignancies including prostate cancer. Twelve unique publications providing detailed information on 60 patients with HIV and prostate cancer were identified. Prostate cancer is a common malignancy in HIV-positive men. With improved therapies for HIV and increasing survival, the importance for screening and treating prostate cancer is increasing. Acute outcomes of treatment do not demonstrate increased acute morbidity; however long-term outcomes have not been reported.
