Sebaceous Carcinoma Incidence and Survival Among Solid Organ Transplant Recipients in the United States, 1987-2017.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Risk of sebaceous carcinoma (SC), a rare skin cancer associated with Muir-Torre syndrome, is elevated among solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs). However, population studies evaluating this association and assessing survival for posttransplant cases are lacking, and further understanding of SC epidemiology in this immunosuppressed population could provide etiologic and clinical insights.

Objective

To assess SC incidence and patient survival after solid organ transplantation.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study, conducted from January 1, 1987, to December 31, 2017, used data from the Transplant Cancer Match Study, which links transplant and cancer registry data for 17 states and 1 metropolitan area in the United States. Altogether, these
