abstract:
Background Data on cancer incidence and associated risk factors among women with HIV are limited. We investigated cancer burden among women with HIV. Methods We included all women >= 18 years from the two large multicentre observational cohort collaborations (D:A:D and RESPOND). The primary outcomes were incidence of all cancers, HPV-related and common individual cancers including breast cancer, lung cancer, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) from 2006 to 2021. Baseline was defined as the latest date of entry into local cohort enrolment and 1st January 2006 for D:A:D and 1st January 2012 for RESPOND. Participants were followed from baseline until the date of first cancer, final follow-up or administrative censoring-whichever occurred first. We assessed risk factors using multivariable Poisson regression by applying robust standard errors and determined a population attributable fraction (PAF) for key risk factors for cancers. Findings Among 17,512 women included, median age at baseline was 39.5 years (interquartile range, IQR 32.5-46.0). Over 141,404 person-years (PYS) and a median 9.2 (5.5-10.1) years of follow-up, 832 women were diagnosed with any cancer; incidence rate 5.9 (95% CI 5.5-6.4)/1000 PYS, 163 HPV-related cancers (1.1 [1.0-1.3]/1000 PYS), 150 breast cancers (1.1 [0.9-1.2]/1000 PYS), 94 lung cancers (0.7 [0.5-0.8]/1000 PYS) and 72 NHL (0.5 [0.4-0.6]/1000 PYS). Older age (>= 45 vs. <45 years), Southern Europe (vs. Western Europe) and smoking were associated with an increased risk of overall cancers. Lower pre-ART nadir CD4, time-updated CD4, and a prior AIDS diagnosis were associated with lung- and HPV-related cancer. In PAF analysis, smoking and HIV-related factors such as lower current CD4, nadir CD4 and HIV viremia significantly contributed to cancer risk. Interpretation Our findings suggest that women with HIV older than 45 years, past or current immunosuppressed or current smokers could be candidates for intensified cancer screening and prevention.
