Article Synopsis
- Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) face a significantly higher risk of skin cancer due to long-term use of immunosuppressants, but there are no standardized screening guidelines in the U.S. for this population.
- A scoping review analyzed 36 studies published from 2019 to 2023, focusing on skin cancer risk stratification, screening protocols, and preventive treatments for SOTRs, revealing that most studies emphasize screening and chemoprevention.
- The SUNTRAC tool was identified as a validated model for assessing skin cancer risk, with various preventive strategies suggested, and the review calls for standardized guidelines and more research on patient education and the tool's validation in diverse groups.
