ABSTRACT
Recent improvements in post-transplant care have led to an increased life expectancy for recipients of organ transplants. These patients require lifelong immunosuppression, which is associated with an increased incidence of malignant disease. Skin cancers are the most common malignancies seen in recipients of organ transplants and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This review describes factors pertaining to the development and prognosis of skin cancers in recipients of organ transplants, as well as outlining prevention and management strategies in this cohort.
