Overview
Solid organ transplantation represents a major milestone in modern medicine, enabling long-term survival and improved quality of life for patients with end-stage organ failure. However, immunosuppressive therapy designed to prevent transplant rejection significantly increases the risk of malignancies, with the most common neoplasms in transplant recipients being non-melanoma skin cancers, particularly squamous cell and basal cell carcinomas.
Prevention of skin cancer in this specific population includes regular check-ups by a dermatologist, consistent photoprotection and targeted patient education about the risks of UV exposure. Chemoprevention or modification of the immunosuppressive regimen may be considered in high-risk individuals to minimize the oncogenic potential of the treatment.
Effective management of skin malignancies in transplant patients requires a multidisciplinary approach. Regular screening and early therapeutic intervention can significantly contribute to improving the prognosis, reducing morbidity and optimizing long-term care for this highly vulnerable group of patients.
