Summary
Lung transplantation is feasible for patients with high-risk prostate cancer (PCa) when prioritized before definitive cancer treatment. This approach balances transplant benefits with cancer management, expanding the recipient pool.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Transplant Surgery
- Pulmonology
Background:
- Transplantation in active cancer patients is controversial due to immunosuppression risks.
- Prostate cancer (PCa) has a favorable profile for temporary non-chemotherapeutic management.
- Evaluating lung transplantation (LT) in high-risk PCa patients before definitive cancer treatment is crucial.

A kidney transplant is a surgical approach that involves replacing a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This procedure is often a treatment option for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The method requires careful recipient selection, including evaluating various medical and psychosocial factors. These criteria vary between transplant centers but generally include assessments of the patient's overall health, adherence to medical recommendations, and lifestyle...
