Radical prostatectomy for localized prostatic carcinoma in a renal transplant patient.
Long-term immunosuppression increases the incidence of many forms of malignancies. We present a case report of a renal transplant patient who developed a prostatic cancer 4 years after transplantation. Radical prostatectomy is a suitable option in the treatment of localized prostatic cancer in a renal transplant patient.
