Abstract

Purpose of Review

Highly potent anti-retroviral therapy (ART) for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has led to dramatic improvements in quality of life and lifespan in persons living with HIV (PLWH). PLWH, however, are suffering from other comorbid conditions, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This review summarizes the epidemiology and pathophysiology of NAFLD in PLWH and explores unique diagnostic and treatment considerations in this population.

Recent Findings

Though it is well established that there is a high prevalence of NAFLD in PLWH, the mechanisms underlying NAFLD in this population are just beginning to be explored. Traditional NAFLD risk factors, including insulin resistance, visceral adiposity, and genetics, have been consistently linked with NAFLD in PLWH. In addition, HIV-related factors including mitochondrial dysfunction, microbiome alterations, and direct effects of the virus and of ART may play a role.

Summary

Given the burden of NAFLD in PLWH, further studies are necessary to investigate mechanisms specific to HIV with which to target therapies.

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.

Welchen Nutzen es trägt, wenn die Strahlentherapie nach radikaler Prostatektomie um eine Androgendeprivation ergänzt wird, hat die RADICALS-HD-Studie untersucht. Nun liegen die Ergebnisse vor. Sie sprechen für länger dauernden Hormonentzug.

Patienten mit metastasiertem hormonsensitivem Prostatakarzinom sollten nicht mehr mit einer alleinigen Androgendeprivationstherapie (ADT) behandelt werden, mahnt ein US-Team nach Sichtung der aktuellen Datenlage. Mit einer Tripeltherapie haben die Betroffenen offenbar die besten Überlebenschancen.
