Introduction and objectives: De novo malignancies represent an important cause of death for liver transplant recipients. Our aim was to analyze predictors of extra-hepatic non-skin cancer (ESNSC) and the impact of ESNSC on the long-term outcome. Patients: We examined data from patients transplanted between 2000 and 2005 and followed-up in five Italian transplant clinics with a retrospective observational cohort study. Cox Regression was performed to identify predictors of ESNSC. A 1:2 cohort sub-study was developed to analyze the impact of ESNSC on 10-year survival. Results: We analyzed data from 367 subjects (median follow-up: 15 years). Patients with ESNSC (n=47) more often developed post-LT diabetes mellitus (DM) (57,4% versus 35,9%, p=0,004). At multivariate analysis, post-LT DM independently predicted ESNSC (HR 1.929, CI 1.029-3.616, p=0.040). Recipients with ESNSC showed a lower 10-year survival than matched controls (46,8% versus 68,1%, p=0,023). Conclusions: Post-LT DM seems to be a relevant risk factor for post-LT ESNSC. ESNSC could have a noteworthy impact on the long-term survival of LT recipients.
