  • Title: Minimizing the risk of posttransplant malignancy.
    Author: Campistol JM.
    Journal: Transplantation; 2009 Apr 27; 87(8 Suppl):S19-22. PubMed ID: 19384182.
    Abstract:
    Nowadays cancer represents the second main cause of death in renal transplant patients with normal function of the graft. The incidence is 10 to 20 times higher than normal population. Calcineurin inhibitor therapy contributes to the increase in the development of neoplasia. Important evidence could bring a preventive effect of mammalian target of rapamycin in skin cancer, Kaposi's sarcoma, and renal cell carcinoma.
