Abstract:
Adjuvant interferon (IFN)-alpha remains the standard adjuvant therapy for intermediate and high-risk melanoma after definitive surgical resection. Data addressing the role and safety of adjuvant immunotherapy in HIV-infected patients with melanoma are lacking. We report on an HIV(+) patient who received IFN-alpha as adjuvant treatment for high-risk melanoma. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of such an approach.
