“…This trend-which was more pronounced for kidney than heart transplant recipients-has also been observed for other epithelial malignancies, including actinic keratoses, 24 SCC, 25 and Merkel cell carcinoma, 26 and could be due to the immunosuppressive treatment acting as a tumor promoter. As previously reported, 27 we did not observe any BCC in children who had undergone transplantation; however, one of the younger OTRs with BCC (aged 29 years at the time of BCC diagnosis) had undergone several renal transplantations during childhood, and it can be speculated that such patients may be at higher risk for BCC development because of the longer period of immunosuppression. The preponderance of BCC in men, found in our control group, proved to be even higher in OTRs, further supporting the contention that male sex is a risk factor for skin carcinomas in general.…”
