Abstract Background and Aims A retrospective analysis of peculiarities of development of malignant neoplasms in patients after kidney transplantation receiving long-term immunosuppression. Method In this study we evaluated incidence of malignancies observed among 718 renal transplant recipient with at least 6 months of follow-up. A total of 561 men and 257 women, mean age at transplantation 36.3 ± 8.3 years were included. Results Thirty-three out of 718 recipients (4.6%) developed malignant neoplasia: 45.5% of these were Kaposi's sarcomas, 12.1%—cancers of the uterine cervix, 12.1% cancer of the stomach, 12.1% - basal cell carcinomas, 6.06% - post transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. There was no significant effect of either cyclosporine A, tacrolimus doses or OKT3/ATG on the incidence of the tumors. The median time from onset of end-stage renal failure (dialysis start) and from the transplantation to the diagnosis of the tumor make up 32 (16-161) and 23 (5-158) mouths, respectively. One renal transplant recipient suffered from multiple myeloma with aggressive course. Three patients diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma of the transplant: clear cell carcinoma, papillary carcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma via 264, 24 and 4 months respectively. Conclusion The importance of strict adherence to intensive monitoring transplant patients, which can detect tumors at an early stage. Strict adherence to intensive follow-up of transplant patients is important, which makes it possible to identify neoplasms at an early stage, when organ-preserving treatment is feasible and effective. In addition, modification of immunosuppressive therapy in such patients involves reducing the dose or, if possible, completely eliminating calcineurin inhibitors and starting taking mTOR inhibitors (sirolimus or everolimus), taking into account the antitumor effect of this group of immunosuppressants.
