Description
Malignancies are frequent complications in organ transplantation, mainly as the result of infection with certain viruses and of long-term immunosuppression.
The epidemiology confirms that the increased incidence concerns certain cancers, especially HIV-related skin cancers and EBV-related lymphoproliferative malignancies. This book covers all currently available information on this important topic of the relationships between transplantation and malignancies: preexisting cancers, posttransplant cancers, their etiology and pathophysiology, their prevention and treatment.
A significant part of the volume is devoted to prophylaxis, early detection and modern forms of therapy in posttransplant lymphomas.
As a conclusion of all these new data, the theory of immunosurveillance deserves to be significantly modified.
