The SCOT Study is funded by the National Institutes of Health and run by investigators at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and local transplant institutions, including the University of Washington, Virginia Mason and Swedish Medical Center. We hope to learn more about factors like genetics or viruses that may be involved in why many transplant patients develop skin cancer after transplant.
We invite participants to fill out questionnaires and donate blood and hair samples. Participants include organ-transplant recipients and those on waiting lists for transplants. Each person who participates has a unique medical history that can tell us something about the causes of skin cancer. By participating in the SCOT study, you will join in a worldwide effort to understand the excess risk of skin cancer in organ transplant patients.
