De novo cancer avoidance after renal transplantation: A case–control study on low-dose sirolimus combined with a calcineurin inhibitor

Full-dose sirolimus (SRL) therapy without a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) reduces the incidence of malignancy after renal transplantation, but with significant side effects. We hypothesized that de novo therapy with low-dose SRL combined with a CNI could still prevent cancer in renal transplant recipi...
