Since the first liver transplants, improving immunosuppressive therapy and reducing the incidence of acute rejection have saved many lives. However, some patients develop de novo cancer after liver transplantations, the most commons are skin cancer and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. Their incidence is higher in transplant patients than in the general population. The occurrence of de novo cancer depends on the risk factors to which patients are exposed. A major risk factor is immunosuppression. The stronger the immunosuppression , the greater the risk of developing de novo cancer. Minimizing immunosuppression has a great interest in the medical field which is to reduce the risk of de novo cancer becoming a major cause of mortality in transplant recipients. Other immunosuppressive medications with anti-tumor activity will be introduced in the future to address this important issue . Depuis les premières transplantations hépatiques, l'amélioration des traitements immunosuppresseurs et la réduction de l'incidence des rejets aigus ont permis de sauver beaucoup de vies. Cependant , certains patients développent un cancer de novo après la transplantation hépatique, les plus courants sont le cancer cutané et le syndrome lymphoprolifératif post-transplantation. Leur incidence est beaucoup plus élevée chez les patients transplantés que dans la population générale. L'appar ition du cancer de novo dépend des facteurs de risques auxquels sont exposés les patients. Un des facteurs de risques majeur est l'immunosuppression . Plus fort est l'immunosuppression , plus grand est le risque de développer un cancer de novo. Minimiser l'immunosupp resion a un grand interêt dans le domaine médical, il s'agit de diminuer le risque de cancer de novo devenu une cause importante de mortalié chez les receveurs transplantés. D'autres médications immunosuppresives ayant une activité anti-tumorale seront introduites dans le futur pour faire face à ce problème important.
