Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in HIV-Positive and HIV-Negative Patients with Lymphoma: A Propensity Score-Matched Comparative Analysis
Our results clearly show that ASCT is an effective curative option for HIV-Ly, with better PFS and a lower relapse rate compared to patients without HIV. A favorable effect of ASCT on HIV infection and immune system recovery, potential off-target effects of cART or other yet unknown factors may account for this observation.
