Can an organ transplant cure a cancer?


Organ transplant is almost never associated with cancer. The reason for this is that, in the main, you cannot be sure that a cancer is completely cured until many years after diagnosis. In addition, organ transplantation carries many hazards including deliberate immonosuppression of the patient, which is associated with cancer risk.

 

Deliberately induced immunosuppression is generally done to prevent the body from rejecting and organ transplant.
