Malignant lymphomas in transplantation patients: a review of the world experience

I Penn et al. Int Z Klin Pharmakol Ther Toxikol. 1970 Jan.

Abstract

Malignant lymphomas developed in 9 renal homograft recipients treated at widely separated transplantation centers. The development of these tumors appears to be an indirect complication of organ transplantation and/or the measures taken to prevent rejection. A further complication may be an increased incidence of epithelial tumors. It also seems likely that immune paralysis may accelerate the growth of metastases.
