ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate clinical and radiologic characteristics of lung cancer in lung transplant recipients and evaluate the treatment course and prognosis.MethodsThe study included 448 patients who underwent lung transplant between 2005 and 2021. All patients had pretransplant chest computed tomography (CT), 429 patients had posttransplant CT, whereas 19 had no posttransplant CT (median number of posttransplant CT, 6; range, 0–24). Medical records of these patients were reviewed to identify patients who developed lung cancer after lung transplant. Computed tomography and positron emission tomography/CT at the time of lung cancer diagnoses were reviewed to obtain imaging features. Demographics, tumor histology, stages, and survival were compared using Fisher exact test and Wilcoxon rank sum test.ResultsAmong 448 lung transplant recipients with a median follow-up of 71.3 months after lung transplant, 15 patients (3.3%) developed posttransplant lung cancer (13 unilateral, 2 bilateral; 10 men, 5 women; median age, 63.1 years; median time from transplantation to cancer diagnosis, 3.1 years). Twelve cancers were in native lung, and 3 were in transplanted lung. The incidence of lung cancer was higher in single lung transplant recipients than in bilateral lung transplant recipients (10.3% vs 0.6%, respectively; P< 0.0001). Imaging manifestations varied according to tumor stages. Among 12 patients treated for lung cancer, 2 patients developed posttreatment acute respiratory distress syndrome. The median survival from cancer diagnosis of cancer was 6.2 months.ConclusionsPosttransplant lung cancer was noted in 3% of lung transplant recipients and was more common in unilateral transplant recipients. The prognosis upon diagnosis was poor with rapid clinical deterioration and serious posttreatment complications.
