Abstract

Cancer in the transplanted kidney is rare, and its clinical and surgical management can be controversial. We report 3 cases of cancer in renal transplantation (1 case of renal cell carcinoma and 2 cases of transitional cell carcinoma) and their treatment. Our data and those reported in the literature suggest that these cancers can be treated like a neoplasm in the general population. However, a higher number of cases and longer follow-up periods are necessary to confirm our findings.
