    The spectrum of risk for common and rare non-keratinocyte skin cancers among solid organ transplant recipients was characterized by Michael Sargen, M.D., and colleagues in the largest cohort study of this population to date. Risk factors that may contribute to elevated risk are viruses, UV radiation exposure, and immunosuppression.
