Abstract

Mandatory use of prolonged immunosuppression in organ transplantation is complicated by an increased incidence of cancer. The current study represents a retrospective analysis of the incidence of neoplasms in our heart transplantation program. Four-hundred and seventy-four patients (403 male and 71 female; mean age, 48.6+/-12.1 years), with at least 30 days of follow-up, were enrolled in this study. Patients received triple immunosuppression with cyclosporin A, azathioprine and steroids. Moreover, as a prophylactic anti-lymphocyte therapy, 388 patients (82%) were administered RATG, 67 patients (14%) received ALG and 19 patients (4%) OKT3. The mean follow-up time was 71.1+/-43.0 months. Fifty-five patients (11.6%) developed malignant neoplasms. The cancer frequencies were: solid tumors, 55%; non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), 20%; Kaposi's sarcomas, 11%; skin cancers, 9%; undifferentiated sarcomas and myelomas, 5%. Solid tumors mainly affected the lung (39%), bowel (16%), stomach (6.5%), liver (6.5%), pancreas (6.5%) and oral cavity (6.5%). The times to the onset of cancer from transplantation were: Kaposi's sarcoma, 12.7+/-16.8 months; skin cancers, 34.5+/-23.8 months; solid tumors, 54.3+/-38.7 months; NHL, 60.1+/-36.4 months; undiff...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
