Cadaveric Donor Renal Transplantation

Allograft and Overall Survival of Patients with Posttransplant Skin Cancer

“…Sheil and colleagues 9 showed that kidney transplant recipients with cancer had better 8‐year survival after transplantation than those without cancer, although after that period, survival of recipients with cancer worsens rapidly compared to recipients without cancer. The declining survival was due to cancer or allograft rejection after withdrawal of immunosuppressive therapy to control malignancy.…”

Cancer in organ transplant recipients: part of an induced immune deficiency syndrome.

“…For those who survive all the early dangers and are otherwise doing well, however, cancer becomes a cruel threat as years go by-for example, in one report cancer accounted for a third of deaths which occurred beyond five years after transplantation. 22 Those transplant recipients treated with standard immunosuppressive agents seem certain to continue to be at risk of developing cancer. In whatever way the complex aetiological factors interrelate the cancers seem to be consequent on an induced immune deficiency syndrome.…”

Deaths from Occlusive Arterial Disease in Renal Allograft Recipients

“…Between August 1967 and May 1973 349 cadaveric renal transplant operations were carried out on 325 recipients at Sydney Hospital and the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (Sheil et al, 1972(Sheil et al, , 1973. The total follow-up experience to May 1973 was 570 patient years, during which time there were 100 deaths.…”
