Long-term survival after organ transplantation is increasing. As
a result, many physicians may encounter various solid organ cancers
during follow up. We review papers who address their attention on
those malignancies and their treatment. Aim of this work is to discuss
the role of radiotherapy especially when helped by new technologies
in the management of brain, skin, head and neck, lung, breast, prostate
and anal cancer. In our institution we are used to treat such patients
by Helical Tomotherapy in order to avoid graft and to limit high risk
toxicity. As example, we include a scalp and pelvic irradiation in which
high dose conformality is linked to best organ sparing. Clin Ter 2013;
