BACKGROUND: Solid organ transplant recipients (OTR) are at an increased risk of
developing squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin after transplantation. In
predominantly white cohorts, Fitzpatrick skin type (FST) has been reported to be a risk factor
for developing posttransplantation skin cancers. OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to determine if
FST is a statistically significant risk factor for the development of SCC after solid organ
transplantation in a diverse US population of OTR. METHODS: A cohort of OTR completed a …
