Organ transplantation and cancer risks.

According to a study presented yesterday in Sweden persons who have undergone an organ transplantation have a seven times higher risk of contracting cancer. The study examined 5356 persons who had undergone transplantation in Sweden during the period 1970 and 1994.

The reason for the increased cancer risk was stated to be the negative effects immunosuppressors have on the immune system.
