Abstract:
Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) exhibit an elevated incidence and aggressiveness of squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) due to their immunosuppression. These tumors are associated with a heightened risk of metastasis and increased mortality. Therefore, an appropriate management of these patients is essential to improve their prognosis. Given the scarcity of studies on non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) in SOTRs, this article aims to summarize and analyze the evidence gathered to date regarding therapeutic approaches, personalized monitoring, and prevention strategies for SCCs in these patients. Additionally, recent advancements in understanding SCCs within this patient group are also documented.
