Solid organ transplant (SOT) candidates and recipients are often subject to intense screening regimens that can potentially delay transplantation and cause unnecessary harm. Although initial studies suggested that SOT recipients had elevated risk of prostate cancer (PCa), contemporary studies have shown that transplant recipients with low- or intermediate-risk PCa have similar outcomes to their counterparts without a transplant.
Renal masses in the kidney graft pose an important clinical dilemma, balancing graft function against the need for cancer control.
Donor origin cancers in the renal graft can be classified as 'donor transmitted' or 'donor derived'.
The immunosuppression administered to renal transplant recipients to safeguard renal function elevates their susceptibility to renal cancer, which is estimated to be 15 times higher than in the general population.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent and under-recognized complaint among male solid organ transplant recipients. Most research on this topic has focused on kidney transplant recipients alone. In this review, we integrate current research on ED across all types of solid organ transplant recipients and assess the success of current methods of ED treatment in transplant populations.
