Skin Cancer after Organ Transplantation pp 241–261Cite as

Squamous Cell Carcinoma

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 146))

During the past years, solid organ transplantations have been performed with increasing success. The long-term survival of organ transplantation is related particularly on the prevention of allograft rejection. Various regimens have been utilised to suppress the host immune response to the transplanted organs. It has been well demonstrated that a relationship exists between immunosuppression and the risk of different malignancies in organ transplant recipients (OTRs). Moreover, patients who have received solid organ transplants are known to have increased susceptibility of developing skin cancer as a result of the intense immunosuppressive regimens. In particular, transplant recipients have a significantly increased risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
