Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in organ transplant recipients. The risk of developing cancer after transplantation is increased compared to the general population, due to several factors, including immunosuppression, which is necessary to prevent rejection of the transplanted organ. Cancer in organ transplant recipients is often more aggressive and difficult to treat, due to the immunosuppressed state of the patient.
