: The long-term survival after lung transplantation (LT) is favorable in Japan. However, survivors LT are subject to late complications, including chronic allograft dysfunction (CLAD), malignancy, infection, and kidney disease (CKD) because of the need for lifelong immunosuppression. rates single cadaveric (CLT) living-donor lobar (LDLLT) higher than that bilateral CLT Here, we will describe ma...

BACKGROUND This study compared the prevalence of co-morbidity in patients starting renal replacement therapy (RRT) between European countries and further examined how co-morbidity affects access to transplantation. METHODS In this ERA-EDTA registry special study, 17907 patients from Austria, Catalonia (Spain), Lombardy (Italy), Norway, and the UK (England/Wales) were included (1994-2001). Co-...

Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most frequent malignancy in organ transplant recipients. The aetiology of NMSC after transplant is multifactorial. The aim of this study was to determine the clinical and environmental factors involved in the development of NMSC in a Spanish kidney transplant population from the Mediterranean region. A total of 289 patients who had received a kidney transp...

The aim of our study is to determine characteristics and outcomes of kidney cancer in renal transplant recipients. MEDLINE® database was searched in June 2015 to identify cases of kidney cancer in renal transplant recipients. We include also a new case. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis. Forty-eight (48) recipients reported in 25 papers met the eligibility criteria. The median age w...

background: patients which have diagnosed with a cancer, have a life time risk for developing another de novo malignancy depending on various inherited, environmental and iatrogenic risk factors. cancer victims could survive longer due to settling treatment modalities, and then would likely develop a new metachronous malignancy. this article aims to report our observed trend of increasing, in p...

conclusions in patients with liver cirrhosis, when there is evidence of severe pulmonary disease without proper response to treatment, the possibility of invasive pulmonary fungal infection should be considered. introduction invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (ipa) is a fatal disease usually occurring in patients with neutropenia resulted from chemotherapy for malignancy. the other risk factors i...

Background The demand for transplantable organs exceeds donor organ supply. Transplantation of organs from donors with a history of malignancy remains controversial and the transmission of cancer in liver transplant recipients has not been sufficiently examined. Methods From 2002 until 2017, 83 livers from donors with a history of malignancy were transplanted at the University Hospital Essen,...

The overall incidence of malignancy after renal transplantation is three to five times higher than in general population. As a result malignancy is the third most common cause of death in renal recipients. Three cases are given below of de novo renal allograft tumor occurring after transplantation. Case 1 is about a 57-year old female patient who underwent kidney transplant (LRKT) with zero hap...
