Abstract

Risk of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) has been reported to be several-fold increased among organ transplant recipients (OTRs). However, due to lack of reliable BCC registration, population-based risk estimates are scarce. To characterize risk of BCC among OTRs compared with the general population, and contrast with risk of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). OTRs transplanted during 2004-2011 were identified through national healthcare registers and linked with the nationwide Swedish BCC Register initialized in 2004. Relative risk of BCC was expressed as standardized incidence ratios (SIR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Altogether, 4023 transplanted patients developed 341 BCCs during follow-up. Compared with the general population, the relative risk of BCC was increased sixfold (SIR 6·1, 95% CI 5·4-6·9). The risk was higher in kidney and heart/lung than in liver recipients (SIRkidney 7·2, 6·3-8·3; SIRheart/lung 5·8, 4·0-8·2; SIRliver 2·6, 1·7-4·0), and risk increased with time since transplantation (Ptrend < 0·01). The SCC to BCC ratio was 1 : 1·7 and BCC developed earlier after transplantation than SCC. Distribution of anatomical sites and histological types did not differ substantially between OTR- and population-BCCs....Continue Reading
