Abstract
With the expansive use of Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) from different cancers to neoadjuvant, more challenges have been associated with management of immune adverse events. Use of ICI in organ transplant patients especially the kidney is an “unmet need” because of increased risk of rejection. Understanding the increased risk of rejection in organ transplant patients and the proposed possible mechanisms is of importance to further develop guidelines for such a population. Based on the limited retrospective studies and few clinical trials we will attempt to draw recommendations in management of kidney transplant patients with cancer and the need for ICI treatment.
