Organtransplanterede patienter har behov for intensiv kontrol og behandling af hudcancer
Sammanfattning
The risk of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and in particular squamous cell carcinoma is significantly increased in organ transplant recipients due to long-term treatment with immunosuppressives. Dermatologic management in the form of a multidisciplinary approach, including patient education, skin surveillance and early treatment of premalignant and malignant lesions is recommended. Field-directed rather than lesional therapy is preferred for actinic keratosis in field-cancerized skin; and high-efficacy therapies are recommended in NMSC due to an increased risk of recurrences and metastases.
