Transcript of Melanoma and HIV: is there an increase in incidence?
HIV and melanoma
Lorenzo Alonso
Reunión GEAM
¿Why to speak about HIV and melanoma?
• There is a deterioration in the immune system in HIV patients.
• Immune deficits are associated to an increase in cancer incidence (transplant recipients)
• Melanoma is a very immunogenic tumor• Is there an incidence increase of
melanoma in HIV patients?

CLINICAL PRACTICE AND MELANOMA
Clinical Trials exclude HIV patients with melanoma
CTLA-4:Inverse correlation with CD4 levels and viral load.
Upregulated inn HIV.

“MODEL PATIENT FOR TREATMENT”
. ECOG 0-1
. Young
. Low viral load
. CD4>500 mm3
. No bulky disease
, Slow clinical agresiveness
Conclusions
• 1. There is a relative increase of the incidence of melanoma(20-50%) in HIV patients.
• 2. Melanoma and HIV a diagnosis challenge: other cutaneous tumors and special locations
• 3. The uncertainty to treat a patient with melanoma and HIV is very similar to a patient without HIV.
