Abstract

Heart transplantation is a surgery that is becoming more frequent in our environment. At the Clínica Cardio VID of Medellín the number of patients undergoing this procedure increases every year, and they become candidates for the development of skin tumors given their state of chronic immune suppression, which increases if there are preconditions. Most patients are older than 50 years of age who have lived in the tropics with little photoprotection and evidence that squamous cell carcinoma is more common in these patients.
The early dermatological intervention is one of the factors with the greatest impact has been documented in multiple studies and despite this and consider it one of the main types of cancer along with lymphoma, is very little intervention in this area.
