Abstract
Two heart transplant patients were referred on the same day for evaluation of new chest radiograph abnormalities. Each proved to have advanced stage bronchogenic carcinoma. Review of the recent medical literature reveals that the combination of profound immunosuppression and a heavy smoking history puts cardiac transplant recipients at increased risk for the development of aggressive lung cancers.
