Summary

Survival of solid organ transplant patients has been prolonged, leading to increased incidence of non-melanoma skin cancers. Metastatic squamous cell carcinoma is an increasing problem in these patients. This paper reviews the evidence available for the treatment of advanced squamous cell carcinoma with the epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor, cetuximab.
