[Transplantation of the kidneys of donors with cancer--personal experiences and review of the literature].
From 1980 to 1988 more than 1,549 organ donors were harvested, 125 of them (8%) died from cancer--116 brain tumors and 9 donors with extracerebral cancer. In 3 donors suffering from extracerebral cancer 5 kidneys were transplanted. All transplants functioned well without tumor signs up to 21 months after grafting. However, because of tumor recurrence in nearly 50% of the cases described in the literature generally organs from donors suffering from extracerebral cancer should not transplanted if possible.
