Objectives: The aim was to investigate the relationship between HDL and the risk of developing any type of malignancy, AIDSdefining malignancies (ADM) or non-AIDS-defining malignancies (NADM) in a cohort of HIV-infected patients. Methods: Patients from the Icona Foundation Study with at least one HDL value per year since enrolment up to June 2015 were included. HDL values were categorized as low (< 39 mg/dl in males or < 49 mg/dl in females) or normal. To evaluate factors associated with the risk of any type of malignancy, ADM and NADM, Kaplan Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used (models included: age at enrolment, gender, smoking status, HCVAb, HBsAg, nadir CD4+, ART exposure, calendar year of enrolment, current CD4+, current HIV-RNA, current HDL-cholesterol, current triglycerides). Results: Among 4897 patients [13440 person-years of follow-up (PYFU)], 104 diagnoses of cancer were observed [56 ADM, 48 NADM] with an overall incidence rate of 7.7 (95% confidence interval, 6.3-9.2) per 1000/PYFU. At enrolment, patients with or without incident cancer showed significant differences in terms of age (years) [median (IQR): 45(37-53) vs 37(31-45), p< 0.0001], nadir CD4+ (cells/mm3) [179(66-277) vs 324 (190-457), p< 0.0001], CD4+ (cells/mm3) [220 (85-472) vs 407 (237-580), p< 0.0001], HDL (mg/dl) [35(28-46) vs 40 (33-49), p=0.001] and cal(only variables significantly associated with the considered outcomes were reported). Conclusion: In addition to well known risk factors, low HDL is an independent predictor of developing any type of malignancy or NADM. Its role in NADM pathogenesis needs to be elucidated.

Methods: Patients from the Icona Foundation Study with at least one HDL value per year since enrolment up to June 2015 were included. HDL values were categorized as low (< 39 mg/dl in males or < 49 mg/dl in females) or normal. To evaluate factors associated with the risk of any type of malignancy, ADM and NADM, Kaplan Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used (models included: age at enrolment, gender, smoking status, HCVAb, HBsAg, nadir CD4+, ART exposure, calendar year of enrolment, current CD4+, current HIV-RNA, current HDL-cholesterol, current triglycerides). Results: Among 4897 patients [13440 person-years of follow-up (PYFU)], 104 diagnoses of cancer were observed [56 ADM, 48 NADM] with an overall incidence rate of 7.7 (95% confidence interval, 6.3-9.2) per 1000/PYFU.
