Skin Cancers in Australian Liver Transplant Recipients: Risk Factors and Histology

Key Points

This research aims to identify the factors influencing the risk of skin cancer in liver transplant recipients.
Evaluated personal and transplant-related risk factors
Conducted a histological examination of skin cancers
Developed a risk stratification model for skin cancer detection
Personal and transplant-related risk factors significantly affect skin cancer risk
Individualised surveillance can enable early detection of skin cancers
Histology reveals various types of skin cancer common in this population

Abstract

Personal and transplant related risk factors significantly modify the risk of cutaneous carcinogenesis in LTRs. Risk stratification of the likelihood of skin cancer development post liver transplant can help to structure an individualised surveillance scheme to facilitate early detection and treatment of skin cancers in LTRs.
