Abstract:
Kidney transplant recipients, comparing to general population, have an increase risk of cancer development. The most frequent lesions, observed in this population, are skin cancers, especially NMSCs (nonmelanoma skin cancers) which make up to 50% of all malignant lesions. The incidence of neoplasm is influenced by demographic characteristics and the highest prevalence achieve in Australia where 52.5% of kidney recipients develop skin cancer after 10 years after transplantation and 82.1% after 20 years. Authors in the following article describe the most common cutaneous premalignant and malignant lesions in patients after kidney transplantation, types of their treatment, and potential risk factor responsible for its development.
