Abstract

HIV and human papillomavirus (HPV) coinfected patients are at high risk of developing precancerous anal lesions (anal intraepithelial neoplasia) and anal malignancies.1 The natural history (that is, progression and persistence) of HPV-associated lesions is accelerated by HIV-related immunosuppression, which may result in the reactivation of previously acquired HPV infection and loss of control of HPV viral replication.2 The longer life expectancy of these coinfected patients in the era of HAART provides an opportunity for invasive anal carcinoma to develop from its dysplastic precursor.The prognosis of anal squamous cell carcinoma is poor in HIV-positive patients, who often present with advanced tumors.3 The appropriate treatment of patients with advanced anal cancer and HIV infection is uncertain.4 Concomitant radiation therapy and chemotherapy (fluorouracil and mitomycin-C) is the current standard of care for HIV-negative patients with invasive anal carcinoma, and that approach has been investigated and applied successfully in HIV-positive patients with similar anal cancers, particularly those with CD4ϩ T-lymphocyte counts greater than 200 cells/L.5,6 HIV-positive patients with anal cancer treated with HAART tend to fare better than those patients who are not receiving HAART.7 It is prudent to point out that our patient never had an anal Papanicolaou (Pap) test (Fig 3, high-grade dysplastic squamous cells; ThinPrep, Cytyc Corporation, Marlborough, MA).HIV-associated anal carcinoma appears to mirror cervical carcinoma in unscreened women, presenting late in the course of the disease and having a protracted, ultimately fatal, course.8 Screening of HIV-positive patients for anorectal dysplasia and/or malignancy by means of an anal Pap test could save lives.9

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
