Effect of CD4 count on treatment toxicity and tumor recurrence in HIV positive patients with anal cancer

In this retrospective cohort study of 142 HIV-positive US veterans with anal cancer, pre-treatment immunosuppression resulted in greater acute hematologic toxicity and post-treatment immunosuppression resulted in a higher risk of tumor recurrence. This suggests that the immune system may play an important role in post-treatment cancer control.
