Post-Transplant Malignancies following Pancreas Transplantation: Incidence and Implications on Long-Term Outcome from a Single-Center Perspective

Chronic immunosuppression is associated with an increased risk of malignancy. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the incidence and effect of post-transplant malignancies (PTMs) following pancreas transplantation. The 348 first pancreas transplants performed between 1985 and 2015 were re...
