Abstract
Malignancy, cardiovascular events, and infections are the leading causes of death among kidney transplant (KT) recipients. The risk of cancer in KT recipient is two to 4 folds increased than general population with reported higher mortality rates. Post-transplant malignancies can be related to de novo development, donor-related transmission, and recurrence of a recipient’s pre-transplant malignancy. Common malignancies post kidney transplantation are non-melanotic skin cancer, Kaposi sarcoma, post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and anogenital cancer.
