Standards of Care for People Living with HIV 2013. Available at: http://www.bhiva.org/documents/Standards-of-care/BHIVAStandardsA4.pdf (accessed December 2013). 1 Introduction 1.4 Key recommendations We recommend that all patients with HIV and malignancy should be referred to centres that have developed expertise in the management of these diseases (level of evidence 1B). We recommend that clinical networks supporting regional centres of excellence for the treatment of both AIDS-defining and

non-AIDS-defining cancers should be developed as advocated by the Standards of Care for People Living with HIV 2013 [18] (level of evidence 1D). Temsirolimus datasheet 3 Kaposi sarcoma (KS) 3.3 Summary of recommendations We recommend that KS should be confirmed this website histologically (level of evidence 1C). We suggest that CT scans, bronchoscopy and endoscopy are not warranted in the absence of symptoms (level of evidence 2D). We recommend that HAART should be started in all patients diagnosed with KS (level of evidence 1B) We suggest local radiotherapy or intralesional vinblastine for symptomatic or cosmetic improvement in early stage T0 KS (level of evidence 2C) We recommend that patients with T1 advanced stage KS, should receive chemotherapy along with HAART (level of evidence 1B). We recommend that liposomal anthracyclines (either DaunoXome 40 mg/m2 q14d or Caelyx 20 mg/m2 q21d) are first-line chemotherapy for advanced KS (level of evidence 1A). We recommend paclitaxel chemotherapy (100 mg/m2 q14d) for second-line treatment of anthracycline refractory KS (level of evidence 1C). All patients should be considered for clinical trial enrolment if eligible (GPP). 4 Systemic AIDS-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma (ARL) 4.3 Recommendation We recommend that all patients have pathology and treatment plans reviewed by a specialist multidisciplinary team (MDT) and that management is co-ordinated closely with an HIV physician and a haemato-oncologist familiar

with the treatment of such patients (level of evidence 1D). 4.4.5 Recommendations for DLBCL We recommend that patients should be entered into clinical trials, if available (GPP). We recommend that first-line next treatment of DLBCL in HIV-positive individuals includes chemotherapy regimens used in HIV-negative patients, such as CHOP or infusional therapies such as EPOCH. No randomized studies have been published in the era of ART and hence there is no optimal ‘gold-standard therapy’ (level of evidence 1B). We recommend that chemotherapy regimens should be combined with HAART therapy (level of evidence 1B). We recommend the concomitant administration of rituximab (level of evidence IB). Patients with CD4 cell counts <50 cells/μL may require closer surveillance (GPP). 4.5.
