Pre-transplant malignancy: An analysis of outcomes after thoracic organ transplantation

This large study evaluating the effects of PTM found the incidence of PTM was in LTx 5.4% and in OHT 5.6%. In general, PTM does not increase mortality in either cohort; however, OHT patients with LLM have an increased hazard of mortality. Therefore, carefully selected patients with PTM should not be excluded from LTx or OHT.
