HIV-positive women with cervical cancer have higher recurrence and death rates with shorter time to recurrence and death compared with HIV-negative subjects. The objective of this study was to compare the recurrence patterns in HIV-positive women with invasive cervical cancer to their HIV-negative counterparts usingWe evaluated 40 HIV- seropositive and 79 HIV-seronegative patients with recurrent cervical carcinoma usingHIV-positive patients were 9 years younger than the HIV-negative patients at the time of diagnosis; mean age 39 years versus 48 years respectively. Initial treatment was comparable in both groups. Time to recurrence was shorter in HIV-infected compared with HIV-uninfected women (11 versus 24 months). The commonest sites of metastatic recurrence was in the lymph nodes. HIV-infected patients demonstrated significant higher recurrence in lymph nodes and lungs (P0.05). No significant difference in the recurrence rate in liver or bone (P0.05) between both groups. HIV-infected patients showed unusual metastases to brain, spleen and skin.By using the |
