Identification of Risk Factors Associated With Neoplastic Complications After Renal Transplantation in Nord-Pas de Calais , Normandy and Picardy Regions

• Conditions: Cancer of Kidney

• Registration Number: NCT02121730
• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens

Brief Summary

Kidney transplantation is now the treatment of choice for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Between 2800 and 3000 kidney transplants are performed each year in France and more than 33 000 patients are living with a functioning graft.

Preventing allograft rejection requires the use of immunosuppressive therapy, the intensity decreases as the distance from the day of transplantation. Unfortunately, treatment favors certain complications, including infectious and neoplastic. These represent a major cause of mortality in these patients. If the frequency of skin cancer is greatly increased in this population, that of solid tumors remains a concern. Approximately 20% of patients develop cancer after 10 years of graft , half non- skin cancers, the main risk factor is immunosuppressive therapy .

The aim of the study is to evaluate, in a large population of patients treated in 4 regions ( the Nord-Pas de Calais, the Upper and Lower Normandy and Picardy) risk factors (in particular the nature of the immunosuppressive treatment) of developing a neoplastic complication, skin cancers and solid tumors, after renal transplantation.

Detailed Description

A retrospective analysis of the previous 10 years, from 2002 to 2011 will be conducted. This study will better understand the epidemiology of these complications but also allow to identify risk factors associated, including demographic, environmental and related to immunosuppressive therapy.

Thereafter, we hope to implement preventive measures or prospective studies, allowing us to reduce the prevalence of this complication.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Association between neoplastic complications and cancers	10 years	Correlation, in a population of renal transplant patients followed in interregion Northwest, of the association of neoplastic complications after renal transplantation, skin cancers and solid tumors outside the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and the terms of immunosuppressive treatment used

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Risk factors	10 years	Identify the main risk factors for developing cancer after transplantation, besides immunosuppressive therapy
Typology of cancers	10 years	Assess the distribution and respective frequency of different types of cancer, skin and solid tumors in this group of patients
Incidence	10 years	Evaluate the incidence of neoplastic complications after renal transplantation in interregion Northwest
Cancer management	10 years	Analyze the management of these cancers, in particular as regards the strategy of immunosuppressive therapy after cancer diagnosis
Renal function after cancer	10 years	To analyze the evolution of renal function after cancer diagnosis
Survival prognosis	10 years	Establish the prognosis and survival of transplanted patients with a diagnosis of cancer after transplantation
Survival factors	10 years	Analyze the factors associated with the survival of transplanted patients who developed cancer after transplantation
Graft survival	10 years	Evaluate graft survival in the group of patients who develop post- transplantation cancer , especially after cancer diagnosis
Rejection number	10 years	Determine the number of cellular acute rejection and humoral rejections in patients who developed cancer and those free from this complication and analyze the prevalence of releases in the period following the diagnosis of cancer
