Official Title: Cancer Development In Organ Transplant Recipients

Brief Summary: The investigators will determine the cancer risk in organ transplant recipients compared to the general population with the help of statistical analysis. Secondly the investigators will try to characterize the different cancer types.

Detailed Summary: This cohort analyses will focus on incident and recurrent cases of development of non-skin cancer over time. We will consider time to first formation of non-skin solid cancer after solid organ transplantation as well as the cumulative number of non-skin solid cancer formation over time. Both aspects are equally important and will be reflected in the analytic methods of this study. Theses analyses will be restricted to the most prevalent transplantation types of heart, kidney, liver, and lung.
