 AB    AIM: to study the incidence of HIV-related lymphomas and survival from
       time of diagnosis of lymphoma. METHODS: retrospective case-notes
       analysis of 50 patients with Non Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL)
       1/1/'83-31/12/'92. Analyses involved rank correlations, logistic
       regression and survival analyses. RESULTS: TABULAR DATA, SEE ABSTRACT
       VOLUME. Incidence in new cases (p < 0.002) and proportion of live AIDS
       patients (p < 0.002) increased. Survival from time lymphoma did not
       change (R = 0.22, p = 0.17). Patients with index diagnosis had better
       early survival (Wilcoxon X2 = 5.2, p = 0.02) but worse late survival
       (Logrank X2 = 3.2, p = 0.07) compared with non-index NHL. Incidence NHL
       not significantly associated with up to 36 months of anti-retroviral
       treatment. CONCLUSIONS: (1) incidence NHL increased and anticipated to
       increase in future (2) this will result in greater demand of cancer
       services and hospice care.
