Abstract

More prolonged survival after liver transplantation is associated with an increase in late complications after liver transplantation. The most common causes of death years after liver transplantation are de novo malignant diseases and recurrences of malignant diseases. The most common de novo malignant diseases after liver transplantation are malignant skin tumors, post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disease, lung tumors, and gastrointestinal tumors. In order to prevent and diagnose malignant disease in liver transplant patients at an early stage, it is necessary to educate patients, carry out regular check-ups, reduce immunosuppressive therapy, and adapt it to the patient. In the case of a diagnosed de novo malignant disease in liver transplant patients at an early stage, it is necessary to educate patients, carry out regular check-ups, reduce immunosuppressive therapy, and adapt it to a patient. In the case of a diagnosed de novo malignant disease in patients after liver transplant, it is necessary to carry out adequate treatment. In this way, we can prolong patients’ survival after liver transplantation and improve their quality of life.
