AB  - In Scandinavia, between 1956 and 1974, 2672 kidney transplantations were 
      performed on 2272 patients. Until 1974, 39 de novo malignant tumors were 
      diagnosed among the 1872 patients who received their first and only graft in the 
      period, and among the entire group of patients an additional 58 tumors were 
      diagnosed until 1978; over 1/4 of these tumors were of mesenchymal origin and of 
      these, over one half were reticulosarcomata, and one half were cerebral. Among 
      566 Danish recipients who received their first and only graft in the period 
      1969-1974, there was a highly significantly (P less than 0.00001) increased tumor 
      incidence in relation to the background population. A significant (P less than 
      0.0005) relationship was found between the occurrence of tumors and human 
      leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatch. In the entire material no correlation was found 
      to the number of transplantations given to the individual patient; there were 
      significantly (P less than 0.01) more tumors in recipients of necrokidneys 
      compared with related kidneys; and there was a significant (P less than 0.006) 
      overrepresentation of recipients with chronic interstitial nephritis.
