Skin cancer after transplantation: a guide for the general surgeon.
The success of organ transplantation has been accompanied by serious concerns regarding the incidence and management of potentially catastrophic cutaneous carcinogenesis in transplant recipients. Delivery of the highest quality of care requires a concerted effort toward collaboration between multiple surgical and medical specialties. The purpose of this review is to provide the general surgeon with a practical, user-friendly guide to the important components of comprehensive dermatologic care for organ transplant recipients (OTRs) with references to more detailed sources of information.
