Assessing the Skin and UV Neoplasia Transplant Risk Assessment Calculator in an Irish cohort of thoracic organ transplant recipients.

The Skin and UV Neoplasia Transplant Risk Assessment Calculator (SUNTRAC) is a tool that can be used to decide when to first screen for skin cancer in organ transplant recipients (OTRs). The objective of this study was to assess the applicability of this tool in thoracic OTRs. Based on data from patient files, the OTRs were categorized into four risk groups according to the SUNTRAC tool. The time of the first post-transplant skin cancer in each OTR was recorded. The proportion of OTRs with post-transplant skin cancer in the low-, medium-, high- and very high-risk groups was 0%, 28.3%, 58.3% and 100%, respectively. This positive correlation suggests that SUNTRAC can be used to determine when to first screen for skin cancer in heart and lung OTRs. © The Author(s) 2023.
