Background: Few studies on long-term survival have been published since the new updated pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) classification was published in 2016. The aim was to investigate long-term survival according to the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI) classification and compare prognostic factors.
Methods: From Uppsala University Hospital, consecutive patients referred for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) from 2004 to 2017 with peritoneal disease from non-carcinoid mucinous epithelial appendiceal neoplasms were included in the study.
Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have an increased cancer risk compared to the general population, but absolute risks that better reflect the clinical impact of cancer are seldom estimated. All KTRs in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland, with a first transplantation between 1995 and 2011, were identified through national registries. Post-transplantation cancer occurrence was assessed through linkage with cancer registries.

We therefore investigated cancer-specific survival among OTRs with a wide range of cancer forms nationally in Sweden. The study included 2,143 OTRs with cancer, and 946,089 nontransplanted cancer patients diagnosed 1992-2013.
