| Binsaleh et al[15], 2011 | Retrospective | 9 | 55 (range: 40-72) | PCa | RT (60-66 Gy); 3 patients had their immunosuppressive regimen changed to a sirolimus-based therapy, while 6 had “judicious” reductions of CNI dosages | NR | 4/9 failure; 5/9 good |
| Pettenati et al[20], 2016 | Retrospective | 6 | 63.5 yr (± 7.2) | PCa | RT (EBRT: 76 Gy; IRT: 145 Gy) +Immunosuppressive therapy [2 pts: CNI + AZA + steroids; 19 pts: CNI + MMF + Steroids; 2 pts: MMF, mTORI + Steroids] | 1 patient died of PCa | No graft loss nor change in renal function due to PCa treatment |
| Antunes et al[13], 2018 | Retrospective | 29 | 53.4 (±10,7) | PCa | RT in 5 patients (details not reported) | 1-yr: 86.2%5-yr: 86.2%10-yr: 79.3% | No patient undergoing RT had allograft failure |
| Oh et al[26], 2019 | Retrospective | 13 | 66 (range: 42-80) | PCa | RT (EBRT: 78 Gy; IRT: 144 Gy) + Immunosuppressive therapy [CIA (n = 8), MMF (n = 13), AZA (n = 3), tacrolimus (n = 12), sirolimus (n = 9), and/or prednisone (n = 20)] | 3 yr: 93.8% | NR |
| Tasaki et al[21], 2019 | Retrospective | 3 | 65 (range: 60-67) | PCa | RT (IRT: 145 Gy) + Immunosuppressive therapy [2 pts: CIA + MMF + MP; 1 pt: tacrolimus + MMF +MP] | NR | 2 pts good graft function; 1 pt declined graft function after 2 yr |
| Velvet et al[27], 2019 | Retrospective | 3 | 59.5 | Lymphoma | RT (details not reported) + reduced immunosuppressive regimen | 6 mo: 66.6% | NR |
