ABSTRACT
A case of prostatic carcinoma diagnosed after renal transplantation is described. Treatment was chosen according to current principles of staging of the disease, and radical prostatectomy proved to be technically feasible after renal transplantation. Immunosuppressive therapy has been continued without apparent consequence to the disease so far. Until there is definite evidence that immunosuppression adversely affects the prognosis of prostatic carcinoma, the decision to terminate immunosuppressive therapy should be based on individual circumstances, such as the response to treatment, the rate of progression of the disease, and the availability of additional treatment for the disease that would be expected to improve prognosis in the absence of immunosuppression.
