Abstract:
Two areas of overlap between kidney transplantation and oncology that remain fraught with uncertainty and bias are (1) transplant candidacy for elderly patients with historic or active cancers or premalignant conditions, and (2) managing cancer in elderly kidney transplant recipients. These have led to inadvertent inequities in the care of elderly kidney transplant candidates with historic or active malignancies. Incorporating a patient's viewpoint and an oncologist's perspective, we present a nuanced, multidisciplinary approach to management that goes beyond mere consideration of chronological age and focuses on the individual patient and his/her goals.
