“…Safe chemotherapies for patients with cancer associated with AIDS have been reported [3,4], but there have been few reports on chemotherapy for patients with gastric cancer associated with AIDS [5][6][7][8][9]. We herein report on a patient with gastric cancer associated with AIDS which was treated with gastrectomy and S-1 while performing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and monitoring serum CD4 lymphocyte levels and HIV RNA levels.…”

Gastrectomy and chemotherapy with S-1 for gastric cancer in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

et al. 2010

Total gastrectomy and chemotherapy with S-1 after surgery were performed in a 50-year-old woman with gastric cancer associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). She was given a diagnosis of gastric cancer at the lesser curvature of the body of the stomach, and distal gastrectomy was performed in December 2004. The postoperative course was eventful, with persistent high fever of unknown origin after surgery and infiltrative shadows in the bilateral lung fields showing on CT scan. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for pneumocystis carinii on bronchoscopy was positive, serum HIV antibody was positive, HIV-RNA was 2.2 × 10(5) copies/ml, and the serum CD4 lymphocyte level was 25/mm(3) on postoperative day 28. She was given a diagnosis of pneumocystis carinii with AIDS. Pneumocystis carinii and fever improved immediately when ST mixture and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) were performed. After 3 months, the serum CD4 lymphocyte level was elevated to 125/mm(3), and she underwent total gastrectomy because cancer cells at the cut end of the resected stomach were positive microscopically. The postoperative course was uneventful, and she underwent adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 because the serum CD4 lymphocyte level was 568/mm(3). S-1 therapy was continued for 2 years (each course consisting of 2 weeks of administration followed by 2 weeks off) while performing HAART and monitoring CD4 lymphocyte levels. No side effects such as decreases in white blood cell counts or CD4 lymphocyte levels were seen during S-1 therapy. She is alive and well without recurrence of gastric cancer 5 years after initial gastrectomy.

“…Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment for gastric cancer [3]. While Patients with HIV infections more often present with a specific malignancy, such as Kaposi's sarcoma and non-Hodgkin lymphomas [4]. Herein, we describe a case of an extended window period HIV-1 infection patient who presented with gastric cancer.…”

This report describes a case of a postoperative gastric cancer patient with AIDS whose window period is extremely longer than normal. The patient suffered from recurrent pulmonary infection after operation. Multiple and Broadspectrum antibiotic was employed but the curative effect was not satisfying. Occurrence of anemia made the disease much more complicated, and the patient was finally diagnosed AIDS. We analyze the factors that may prolong the window period. Because the postoperative gastric cancer patient are susceptible to infection, which caused by poor nutrition status and immune compromise, it is easy to overlook the possibility of AIDS. And we found TCM treatment of AIDS has been an unexpected result in this patient.
