Critically Important Cancer Outcomes to Report in Kidney Transplant Trials
The Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Transplantation (SONG-Tx) international consensus process, involving patients, caregivers and health professionals, identified cancer as a core outcome for kidney transplant trials1. Transplant recipients experience a 2-3-fold increased risk of cancer and cancer death compared to their age- and sex-matched peers2,3. The increased risk of cancer is largely attributed to the effects of long-term immunosuppression, which impairs immune surveillance and immunity to oncogenic viruses4.
