[HTML][HTML] Molecular concepts of virus infections causing skin cancer in organ transplant recipients
I Nindl, F Rösl - American Journal of Transplantation, 2008 - Elsevier
Globally approximately 15% of all malignant tumors are caused by viruses and even a
higher percentage is observed in organ transplant recipients (OTR). Here, nonmelanoma
skin cancer (NMSC) is the most frequent malignancy, which correlates with cutaneous
human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. In the present review, we reflect on some recent
general concepts how tumor viruses can either act as direct or indirect carcinogens in the
multistep process of carcinogenesis. Immunosuppressive drugs in OTR, which reduce the …
