De Novo Malignancy After Heart, Kidney, and Liver Transplant: A Nationwide Study in Taiwan.
CONCLUSIONS: Regional endemic epidemiologic factors play significant roles in the development of de novo cancers, particularly in kidney transplant recipients due to causes of renal failure other than diabetes and hypertension. Each regional organ transplant program should tailor and establish its surveillance protocol based on epidemiologic data. However, the type and intensity of surveillance require further and long-term investigations in this patient cohort.
