Lung transplantation (LTx) is a well-known treatment for end-stage lung disease. This study aimed to report the incidence of cancer after LTx and long-term outcome among lung transplant recipients with a pretransplant diagnosis of cancer. Patients who underwent LTx between 1990–2016 were included in the study. Detection of cancer was obtained by cross-checking the study population with the Swedish Cancer Registry and the Cause-of-Death registry. A total of 614 patients were followed for a median of 5.1 years. In all, 159 malignancies were diagnosed. The excess risk of cancer or standardized incidence ratio (SIR) following LTx was 5.6-fold compared to the general Swedish population. The most common malignancies were non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) (SIR 76.5 (95%CI 61.7–94.8); non-Hodgkin lymphoma (SIR 23.5, 95%CI 14.8–37.2); and lung cancer (SIR 8.89, 95%CI 5.67–13.9). There was no significant difference in overall survival between those with and without a history of cancer before LTx (p = 0.56). In total, 159 malignancies were identified after LTx, which was a 5.6-fold higher relative to the general population. A history of previous cancer yields similar survival in selected recipients, compared to those without cancer prior to LTx. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
