• Resumen

  • Organ transplant recipients (OTRs) have a 60- to 250-fold increased risk for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and a 10-fold increased risk for basal cell carcinoma (BCC).1 It is still unclear, however, how fast after transplant these tumors arise. To develop risk-adjusted clinical follow-up in OTRs, we investigated the incidence of first and subsequent nonmelanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) in OTRs.
