A woman with cystic fibrosis has been diagnosed with cancer in France after a lung transplant, according to a study published in the journal LangeCancer, warning against the risk of transplanting such organs.
The patient was under medical surveillance since childhood for cystic fibrosis. After a rapid decline in respiratory function due to the disease, doctors decided in November 2015 to undergo a lung transplant.
"According to the donor database, the lungs were taken from a 57-year-old woman who smoked a pack of cigarettes every 30 years," says the study conducted by doctors at the Montpellier University Hospital. In June 2017, the patient with lungs was admitted to the oncology department of Montpellier University Hospital. She died two months later from lung cancer. The study showed that the symptoms are very similar to those caused by cancer caused by smoking.
