Distribution and association of cancer with mortality in end-stage renal disease patients receiving dialysis.

CONCLUSIONS: In our real-world multi-morbid dialysis cohort of 119 cancer patients, baseline cancer history did not prove to be an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality in the first 5 years of follow-up, suggesting the need for a case-by-case approach in provision of RRT options, including transplantation.
