PURPOSE/AIM 1. Review epidemiology and prognosis of post-transplant malignancy 2. Review risk factors and potential predictors of malignancy 3. Review imaging findings of post-transplant malignancies

CONTENT ORGANIZATION 1. Epidemiology, characteristics and prognosis of post-transplant malignancy a. Epidemiology and common tumors b. Survival comparison to non-transplant patients 2. Risk factors and predictors of malignancy a. Risk factors for solid organ malignancies b. Risk factors for non-melanoma skin cancers c. Role of immunosuppressive therapy and viral infections 3. Cross-sectional imaging of post-transplant tumors a. Donor organ and recipient preexisting malignancies b. De novo malignancies i. Kaposi’s sarcoma ii. Post transplant lymphoproliferative disorder iii. Skin tumors iv. Others 4. Conclusion SUMMARY As mortality from infectious and cardiovascular diseases decline, malignancy has become one of the more common causes of morbidity and mortality in transplant patients. Malignancies in these patients carry worse prognosis. Long term immunosuppression and viral illness are the most important of risk factors and predictors. The purpose of this exhibit is to illustrate the pathophysiology, risk factors, and role of imaging in screening and diagnosing post-transplant malignancies.
