Skin cancer knowledge and photoprotective practices of organ transplant recipients

Long‐term use of immunosuppressive medications by organ transplant recipients (OTRs) leads to an increased risk of non‐melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs). The objective of this study was to assess photoprotective knowledge and practices among OTRs and to identify predictors of poor sunscreen adherence and barriers to photoprotection.
