Abstract
Skin cancers are the most common malignancy in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. Current data supports an uneven distribution of dermatological care towards urbanized areas, leading to limited access in rural settings. Patients in rural areas thus may have more difficulty in obtaining routine skin screening after transplant. We hypothesized that there would be higher risk of skin cancers after transplant among rural KT recipients and sought to examine rural-urban differences in skin cancer incidence in KT recipients in the US.
