Heart transplant patients get new hope against skin cancer

NCT ID NCT00799188

Summary

This study tested whether switching heart transplant patients from standard anti-rejection drugs to a medication called everolimus could help prevent new skin cancers. It involved 175 patients who had already developed skin cancer after their transplant. Researchers compared how many new skin cancers developed over two years in patients taking everolimus versus those continuing on standard treatment.
