Rugengamanzi Eulade: Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in Tanzania according to HIV status during the HAART era
Rugengamanzi Eulade, Oncologist at
“We have published:
‘A comparison of clinical profile and treatment outcome of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in Tanzania according to HIV status during the HAART era’ in BMC Cancer.
Highlights
- The 2-year OS rate for HIV-HL was 34%, while that for non-HIV-HL was 67%.
Among the HIV-HL patients, predictors of a poorer outcome were a CD4 count ≤ 200 cells/mm3 (P = 0.05), lack of HAART use (P = 0.00), and the use of HAART for ≤ 10 months (P = 0.00).
Conclusion: HIV positivity is still a poor prognostic factor.”
