What is High frequency and mortality of head and neck malignancy in organ transplant recipients in Ireland – A national cohort study about?
Background Solid organ transplant recipients are recognized to carry a high burden of malignancy and frequently this cancer develops in the head and neck region. Furthermore, cancer of the head and neck post-transplant carries a significantly increased mortality. In this study, we aim to conduct a national retrospective cohort study to investigate the impact of head and neck cancer in terms of frequency and mortality in a large group of solid organ transplant recipients over a 20 year time span and compare the mortality in transplant patients to non-transplant patients with head and neck cancer. Methods Patients in the Republic of Ireland who underwent solid organ transplantation between 1994 and 2014 who developed post-transplant head and neck malignancy were identified from the records of two prospective, national databases (National Cancer Registry of Ireland (NCRI) and The Irish Transplant Cancer Group database) working in conjunction with each other. Incidence of head and neck malignancy post-transplant was compared with the general population by means of standardised incidence ratios (SIR). Cumulative incidence of all cause and cancer related mortality from head and neck kera
