5 I have seen bad outcomes in iatrogenically immunosuppressed patients with skin cancer in my practice 1. Frequently 2. Fairly regularly 3. Rarely 4. Never 2011 MFMER slide MFMER slide-5

6 Introduction 2015 MFMER slide-6

7 Skin Cancer Most common human malignancy Over 5 million NMSC per year in US Increased incidence and risk in immunosuppressed Solid organ transplantation NHL/CLL Rogers HW, Weinstock MA, Feldman SR, Coldiron BM. Incidence estimate of nonmelanoma skin cancer (keratinocyte carcinomas) in the US population, JAMA Dermatol 2015; 151(10): MFMER slide-7

13 Transplants per year 2015 MFMER slide-13

14 What would increase the number of transplant patients? Increasing the rate of donation Iran has legalized the sale of human organs Social acceptance of deceased and living donation Opt-out rather than opt-in policies Spain and Ireland Much higher donation rates 2015 MFMER slide-14

40 Outcome Capecitabine stopped Antibody mediated rejection of lungs Bowel perforation following surveillance colonoscopy Recurrence of Aspergillus pneumonia Tumor rebound Recurrent aggressive SCC left neck/scalp Pulmonary nocardia infection Pulmonary mycobacterium avium complex infection 2015 MFMER slide-40

41 Outcome Cholangiocarcinoma Metastases Lung, bone, and multiple soft tissues Deceased Aug 15, MFMER slide-41

42 Lessons Learned The higher level of immunosuppression The bigger the cutaneous challenge! Age sometimes not a factor Aggressive treatment promptly is key! Systemic treatment options sometimes helpful Very humbling! 2015 MFMER slide-42

43 Incidence of and Risk Factors for Skin Cancer following Cardiac Transplantation Brewer JD, Colegio O, Phillips PK, Roenigk RK, Jacobs MA, Van de Beek D, Dierkhising RA, Kremers WK, McGregor C, Otley CC. Incidence of and Risk Factors for Skin Cancer after Cardiac Transplantation. Arch Dermatol. 2009;145(12): MFMER slide-43

44 Mortality Years post transplantation Cumulative incidence of death 5 yrs 18.4% (95% CI 13.6%-23.0%) 10 yrs 37.9% (95% CI 30.5%-44.5%) 15 yrs 63.5% (95% CI 51.5%-72.5%) 18 yrs 78.7% (95% CI 57.7%-89.3%) * The majority of death was due to heart failure 2015 MFMER slide-44

45 Mortality Mortality due to skin cancer Only 1 person died due to skin cancer Melanoma 8.6 years post transplantation 2015 MFMER slide-45

46 Melanoma 2015 MFMER slide-46

51 Conclusions MM in OTRs Overall survival is worse in OTRs with MM regardless of Breslow thickness MM cause specific survival appears to be worse in thicker MMs Recurrence of MM is no higher in OTRs with a prior history of MM 2015 MFMER slide-51

52 Risk Factors 2015 MFMER slide-52

53 Common Risk Factors for Skin Cancer in Transplant Patients Increasing incidence with increasing age Hereditary Fair Skin, blond or red hair SUN EXPOSURE Blue, green or gray eyes Celtic background History of previous NMSC HPV Sun exposure 2015 MFMER slide-53

56 The Empty Vessel Concept Does Knowledge Equal Behavior? 2011 MFMER slide MFMER slide-56

57 Conclusions 2015 MFMER slide-57

58 How to Unlock the Puzzle?... Immune system Behavioral factors Other things that affects carcinogenesis 2015 MFMER slide-58

59 Summary What We Don t Know Immunosuppressed patients with skin cancer What is the underlying association Does education and prevention effect outcomes What predicts bad behavior 2015 MFMER slide-59

60 Future Direction and Research Pathogenic mechanisms Genetic associations Optimal management Formal recommendations needed Adjuvant therapy for high risk tumors Educational strategies Effects on outcome 2015 MFMER slide-60

61 What Physicians Need to Know about Skin Cancer in Immunosuppressed Patients Skin cancer can ruin a life Skin cancer can take a life Prevention must come early EARLY = CURE Less immunosuppression = less cancer Dermatologic surgeons and dermatologists should want to work with other specialties Expert help is available ( MFMER slide-61
