Lung cancer as an immune reconstitution disease in an HIV-1 positive man receiving HAART. Postepy higieny i medycyny doswiadczalnej (Online), 2006, Volume: 60 A case of small-cell lung cancer with prompt worsening of the clinical course was observed in a patient with significant immune restoration after receiving effective highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for seven months. Rapid and enormous enlargement of metastatic liver was the main symptom. Chest x-ray showed an enlargement of the left hilus. The patient died 22 days after the onset of the fulminant disease. We suggest that the occurrence and aggressive course of the lung cancer resulted from the development of immune reconstitution syndrome.

A long-term survival case of small cell lung cancer in an HIV-infected patient. Japanese journal of clinical oncology, 2005, Volume: 35, Issue:6 We report a case of small cell lung cancer in a patient with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. The patient was a 51-year-old man diagnosed 8 years previously as seropositive for HIV, who was admitted to our hospital for re-evaluation of antiretroviral medications due to multidrug resistance. Chest radiograph revealed an abnormal hilar shadow subsequently confirmed to be small cell lung cancer. He received chemotherapy concurrently with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), and lived for 14 months after the diagnosis. The prognosis of lung cancer in HIV-seropositive patients is very poor, and adverse effects of chemotherapy occur more frequently than in other patients. However, the simultaneous antiretroviral agents and combination chemotherapy was successful. Such treatment may be effective despite an otherwise poor prognosis, including HIV infection.
