Melanoma Risk in Renal Transplanted Patients

Abstract: Despite the well-known increased risk to develop non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) due to the long-term immunosuppression, data about melanoma incidence and prognosis in solid organ transplanted patients are still debated. Literature studies report a relative risk for melanoma varying from 1.2 and 5.8 in different solid organ recipients, probably as a consequence of the difference in immunosuppressive treatments and endogenous and exogenous risk factors. Here we report data about melanoma incidence, prognosis an… Show more

“…The current study examined exclusively KTRs, confirming a high prevalence of skin cancer respect to the general population. This observation finds a great deal of support in the literature, whereas data regarding other neoplasms (i.e., melanomas) show variability among different studies [24,25,26,27,28].…”
