Cetuximab for treatment of advanced squamous cell carcinoma in solid organ transplant recipients

Zeitschrift:: Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift > Ausgabe 15-16/2013

Autoren:: MD Katherine Boyd, MD Sofia M Shea, MD James Patterson

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.
