After transplant

The most common cancer after transplant is skin cancer

Anti-rejection drugs sharply raise skin-cancer risk — but it is also the easiest to prevent and to catch early.

  1. 1Immunosuppression weakens immune surveillance; skin-cancer risk rises steeply after transplant. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common, with risk 65–250 times the general population (NEJM review).
  2. 2Ultraviolet light is the main driver: more sun, more years since transplant and fairer skin all raise the risk.
  3. 3Daily protection: broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen applied before going out and every 2 hours; hat, long sleeves, sunglasses; avoid strong sun between 10 am and 4 pm.
  4. 4Protect lips and ears too (lip cancer risk also rises); choose a lip balm with SPF.
  5. 5KDIGO advises an annual full-skin and lip examination by a qualified professional. Check yourself monthly: any new spot, or one that grows, changes colour, won't heal or keeps scabbing — see a doctor promptly.

Sun protection is something you can do for your new kidney every single day. Ask your team: "How often should I see dermatology?"
