Cancer cohort consortium approach: cancer epidemiology in immunosuppressed groups.

摘要: Nearly 40 years have passed since the publication of first report showing higher cancer risks in recipients organ transplants. Thereafter, studies carried out immunosuppressed persons greatly expanded our knowledge on spectrum cancers associated with infections. Clinical investigations following expanding practice transplantation, and 1980s, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected thereafter confirmed extended these early observations. The comparison seen excess two groups populations offers an original viewpoint into association immunosuppression cancer. Combining longitudinal data from different cohorts HIV-infected transplant represents a further tool for better quantifying immunodepression. In this chapter, use methodologic approach southern Europe is illustrated limitations are discussed.
