Organ transplant recipients (OTRs) on cyclosporine A (CSA) are prone to catastrophic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)
It causes red nodules, scaly, red patches on lips or inside the mouth, , open sores, or wartlike sore on
Marcil and Stern estimated increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) after CsA treatment equivalent to 200 PUVA treatments while the original data Studies on methotrexate and cyclosporine and older biological agents such as tumor necrosis factor inhibitors have found no increased risk of non-cutaneous solid tumors

Allograft-sparing, cancer-targeting systemic treatments are unavailable
Cyclosporine, however, also impedes the UV-induced DNA repair mechanisms and keratinocyte apoptosis, by counteracting
Immunosuppression is a well-documented risk factor for skin cancer, as exemplified by the 65 to 250-fold higher squamous cell carcinoma risk, 10-fold higher basal cell carcinoma risk, and 0 to 8 Immune-suppressed organ transplant recipients (OTRs) can develop catastrophic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), characterized by multiple primary tumors Employing a variety of immune-compromised murine models, immunoblotting, immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence techniques, we show that human squamous xenograft tumors in nude mice grow faster and become significantly larger in size following treatment with the immunosuppressive drug, cyclosporine A (CsA)
