This study compared outcomes for localized RCC patients who received a prior organ transplant to a matched cohort of non-transplant patients. METHODS: Patients were identified from a solid organ transplant database with tissue diagnosis of non-metastatic RCC after transplantation between 2000-2020. Transplant patients were matched 1:2 to non-transplant patients based on treatment type, age, grade, and tumor size. Clinical variables and survival outcomes were compared. RESULTS: A total of 81 patients were identified who developed non-metastatic RCC after organ transplant. Median age was 57 years and 27% were female. Management strategies included surgery (65%), thermal ablation (23%), and active surveillance (10%). Among active surveillance patients, 0/9 developed metastases and 4/9 died of non-RCC causes with median follow-up of 89 months. Papillary RCC was more common in the transplant than matched cohorts (41 vs 18%, p0.05 for all) (Figure 1C). Among surgical patients, median follow-up was 65 vs 90 months for transplant vs. non-transplant patients (N=54, 104); p=0.08. Transplant patients were more likely to have postoperative complications (p=0.04) (Table 1B). No difference was found in local recurrence, metastatic progression or overall survival (p>0.05 for all) (Figure 1D) Among all patients, multivariable Cox regression showed only Charlson comorbidity index was associated with mortality (HR 1.3, p<0.001) after adjusting for transplant status, age, grade, RCC subtype, and tumor size. CONCLUSIONS: Patients who develop non-metastatic RCC after solid organ transplantation have similar outcomes as non-transplant patients. Mortality is primarily associated with comorbidity and further studies should evaluate expanding the role of active surveillance for transplant patients with localized RCC.
