Anti-rejection drugs sharply raise skin-cancer risk in transplant recipients — squamous cell carcinoma can be 65–250 times more common than in the general population. Yet it is also the most preventable and most detectable cancer. Based on the KDIGO 2009 transplant guideline and the NEJM review: risk factors, concrete sun-protection steps, monthly self-checks (ABCDE and the "non-healing" rule), annual dermatology exams, and which immunosuppression adjustments have evidence.
