Core Tip Survival after solid organ transplant is continually improving. Because of this, patients are living longer and are requiring long-term monitoring for malignancies. There is growing evidence that breast and gynecologic cancers (specifically cervical and vulvovaginal cancers) may have a higher mortality rate in post-transplant patients. Despite this increased mortality risk, there is currently no consistent standard among transplant societies for screening and identifying these cancers in post-transplant patients. Ultimately, data are not robust and further studies are needed to determine if more aggressive screening strategies would be of benefit for these cancers.
