Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the introduction of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), the incidence of HIV-associated lymphomas, like other AIDS-related neoplasms, has decreased. However, lymphoma is still an important cause of morbidity and mortality among people with HIV (PWH). Moreover, in recent years, the incidence rates of some lymphoma subtypes, such as Burkitt and Hodgkin’s lymphoma, have increased. When treated with the same standard therapies, the prognosis of lymphomas affecting PWH is similar to that of the general population. Although there is information about the etiopathogenesis and the role of other viruses in the development of HIV-related lymphomas, there is still a need for studies to unveil the genetic alterations involved in the development of these lymphomas that have not been discovered as of yet.
The aim of this Special Issue of Cancers is to focus on the different aspects of HIV-associated lymphomas and other lymphoid neoplasms, including their pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical features, and prognosis. This Special Issue welcomes reviews, as well as original research articles.
Dr. José-Tomás Navarro
Guest Editor
