Regular skin exams reduced advanced KCs in posttransplant patients


 

REPORTING FROM IID 2018


“We have a rigorous skin referral policy in place and really target transplant patients to be seen within a year. Having a dermatologist dedicated to transplant dermatology really helps,” he said. The next step is to define the optimal frequency of posttransplant skin cancer screening and to address barriers to screening.

There was no industry funding for the work, and Dr. Chan had no relevant disclosures.
