Overview

Improvements in immunosuppressive therapy during the past decade brought about improvements of the long term tolerance of organ allografts. However, the long-term immunosuppressive therapy has an important limitation, because it can increase the risk of cardivascular diseases, infections and tumors. As compared with age-matched healthy population, organ-transplant recipients have an increased incidence of tumors.

Key words:
immunosuppression, tumor, transplantation.
