Pathological Analysis of Kidney Transplantation in Cancer Patients

Ana Gomes

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a serious health problem that can happen after receiving a solid organ transplant. The objective of our study was to describe the clinical and pathological characteristics of CRC in kidney and liver transplant recipients at a tertiary and reference center. Our cohort consisted of 12 patients, 10 men and 2 women, with a mean age of 60. Ten of the patients underwent CRC resection. In five patients, the transplanted organ was the liver, and in seven, the kidney. Concerning endurance, patients submitted to renal transplantation were completely expired 5 years after CRC analysis, while those exposed to hepatic transplantation had an endurance of 60% at the fifth year.
