NCT ID NCT02121730
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 2,500 kidney transplant patients to find out why some develop cancer. The main focus was on the immunosuppressive drugs that prevent organ rejection, which can also raise cancer risk. Researchers tracked patients from four regions in France over 10 years to identify key risk factors for skin and solid tumors.
