Skin cancer history, sun-related attitudes, behaviour and sunburn among renal transplant recipients versus general population

摘要

Background/ObjectivesRenal transplant recipients (RTR) have both an excessive skin cancer incidence and a high mortality rate. In Australia RTR receive extensive public education on skin cancer and many undergo further education pre/post-transplant. This study examines whether RTR have sufficiently rigorous sun protection behaviour compared with the general population.
