PostTransplantMalignancy

The development of malignancy after a successful kidney transplant poses unique challenges. The most common malignancies after kidney transplantation are skin cancers. Hematologic cancers are usually post transplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD). Although studies have shown that certain cancers are more likely to occur in patients with CKD or with ESRD, the overall incidence of cancer clearly increases further after kidney transplantation.
