Prostate cancer in solid organ transplant recipients: Results from a multicenter series.

Introduction: Prostate cancer incidence in immunosuppressed transplant recipients increases as life expectancy improves in this population. However, the management of treatments and immunosuppressive (IS) regimens for solid organ transplant recipients diagnosed with prostate cancer remains poorly defined. Therefore, we conducted a multicentric study to investigate these parameters more thoroughly.
