Cancer risk in nontransplanted and transplanted cystic fibrosis patients: a 10-year study.

BACKGROUND Cancer in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common genetic disorder in Caucasians, has been a rare event. However, more patients now reach adulthood, and more patients undergo organ transplantation-factors associated with an increased cancer risk. Our aim was to assess the risk of cancer in nontransplanted and transplanted CF patients. METHODS We followed 28 858 patients...

Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes: the presence of microvascular diabetes complications.

OBJECTIVE Cystic fibrosis (CF)-related diabetes has been regarded as a mild form of diabetes with a low risk of severe diabetes complications.
