Book cover HIV-associated Hematological Malignancies

Abstract

Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has markedly reduced morbidity and mortality of AIDS-related complications in patients with HIV. Despite the overall success of cART, hematological malignancies remain a common source of morbidity and mortality. In this chapter, we discuss the management of cART in relation to antineoplastic agents and potential pharmacological interactions between cART and antineoplastic agents and consider how to combine cART and antineoplastic agents in patients with HIV.
