Renal transplantation is considered one of the best long-term therapies for chronic renal failure, but unfortunately the incidence of malignancy significantly increases in renal transplant recipients. We analyzed nine cases of malignancy in 200 renal transplant recipients occurring in a 12-year follow-up in Imam hospital of Tehran University, Tehran, Iran. According to this study, the organ...

the aim of this study is to introduce a parametric mixture model to analysis the competing-risks data with two types of failure. in mixture context, i t h type of failure is i th component. the baseline failure time for the first and second types of failure are modeled as proportional hazard models according to weibull and gompertz distributions, respectively. the covariates affect on both the ...

Malignancy is the third major cause of death among transplant recipients. Patient and kidney outcomes after diagnosis malignancy are not well described. We reviewed incidences colorectal, lung, PTLD, renal patients who received a from January 2000 to December 2018 using UNOS/OPTN database. Incidence each was measured at 5 years 10 transplant. The Kaplan–Meier curve used for time-to-event analys...

OBJECTIVE Malignancy is the leading cause of death among heart-transplant recipients. There is a higher incidence of post-transplant malignancy in heart-transplant recipients than in kidney-transplant recipients. This study sought to assess the incidence of malignancy in heart-transplant recipients in Taiwan. METHODS This is a retrospective chart review. RESULTS From 1987 to 2008, 291 patie...

Information on post-transplant malignancy and mortality risk in kidney transplant tourists remains controversial and is an important concern. The present study aimed to evaluate the incidence of post-transplant malignancy and mortality risk between tourists and domestic transplant recipients using the claims data from Taiwan's universal health insurance. A retrospective study was performed on 2...

OBJECTIVES We report the incidence and pattern of malignancies in renal transplant recipients from our department. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between March 1983 and August 2013, the records of 2054 renal transplant recipients from our department were retrospectively reviewed with regard to type of neoplasm, age, gender, interval between the transplant and the diagnosis of malignancy, immunosuppres...

OBJECTIVES To examine whether incidence of colorectal malignancy is increased in Australasian liver transplant recipients compared with the general population of Australia, and to assess the characteristics and outcomes of colorectal malignancy in this patient group. DESIGN, SETTING AND PATIENTS Data on patients who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx) and had a diagnosis of de-n...

transplant recipients in the fi rst year post-transplant are infection and rejection. Over time, transplant coronary artery disease (a form of chronic rejection) and malignancy (resulting from inadequate immune surveillance of cancer cells) emerge as threats. Balancing immune response is one of the most serious challenges for the transplant cardiologist: over-immunosuppression results in an inc...
