Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators will determine the cancer risk in organ transplant recipients compared to the general population with the help of statistical analysis. Secondly the investigators will try to characterize the different cancer types.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This cohort analyses will focus on incident and recurrent cases of development of non-skin cancer over time. We will consider time to first formation of non-skin solid cancer after solid organ transplantation as well as the cumulative number of non-skin solid cancer formation over time. Both aspects are equally important and will be reflected in the analytic methods of this study. Theses analyses will be restricted to the most prevalent transplantation types of heart, kidney, liver, and lung.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Organ transplant recipients

Follow-ups in regular intervals following the organ transplant date.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

We will select all patients within the STCS based on the date of the first solid organ transplantation. Patients with multiple organ transplantations will be included as well. Patients contribute to the study observation time until death or end of follow-up due to other reasons.

Exclusion Criteria

We will exclude patients with non-solid organ transplantation (e.g. hematopoietic stem cell transplantation), because the detailing of information in the STCS is insufficient to allow for detailed analysis of cancer development and control of relevant confounders. We will exclude
