Management of Skin Cancer in Solid-organ Transplant Recipients: A Multidisciplinary Approach.

Solid-organ transplant recipients are at increased risk for the development of skin cancers. A promising strategy for managing these complex patients involves a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates clinicians from various specialties, which provides the optimal milieu for patient education, treatment, and follow-up. The multidisciplinary clinic also facilitates communication between dermatologists and transplant physicians regarding such crucial concerns as revision of immunosuppression.
