| Popis: | To determine the incidence of malignancies in renal transplant recipients (RTRs) and to analyze the association between the risk of skin cancer and immunosuppressive regiments used in the posttransplant period.A cohort study was performed on 797 RTRs. Standardized morbidity ratio (SMR) was calculated for the most common types of cancer developed in the posttransplant period and different types of immunosuppressive therapy used in the cohort.192 cases of malignancies were diagnosed in 86 RTRs (10.8%). Nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) was the most frequent type of cancer (SMR = 6.42, p = 0.000), followed by renal cancer (SMR = 5.9, p = 0.000), malignant melanoma (SMR = 2.59, p = 0.080), and prostate cancer (SMR = 1.21, p = 0.593). The risk to develop NMSC was significantly higher in the group where cyclosporine has been used besides tacrolimus, mycophenolatemophetil and steroids as well as in the group treated with the combination without cyclosporine (SMR = 9.62, p = 0.001 and SMR = 5.18, p = 0.000). Furthermore, the risk was significantly higher in RTRs receiving anti-thymocyte globulin within induction therapy (SMR = 4.14, p = 0.000).The preliminary results indicate that the risk of NMSC in RTRs is significantly higher than in the general population and thus emphasize the need to improve preventive strategies in the Czech transplant population. |
