Cutaneous melanoma in kidney transplant recipients: pathology report review and predictors of survival

Histopathological data extracted from reports held by state Cancer Registries for melanomas diagnosed in an Australian cohort of kidney transplant recipients, 1982-2003. Data linkage of the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (ANZDATA) with the Australian Cancer Database identified 82 cases of cutaneous melanoma. For each case, 3 melanomas have been randomly selected from the jurisdictional cancer registries and frequency matched as controls. Histopathological information has been extracted from reports held at the Cancer Registries for these melanomas, and linkage with the National Death Index will provide date and cause of death for survival analyses.

本数据集提取自1982年至2003年澳大利亚肾移植受者队列中确诊黑色素瘤的各州癌症登记报告的组织病理学数据。通过澳大利亚和新西兰透析与移植登记处（Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry, ANZDATA）与澳大利亚癌症数据库（Australian Cancer Database, ACD）的数据关联，共确认82例皮肤黑色素瘤病例。针对每一例病例，从辖区癌症登记处中随机选取3例黑色素瘤作为对照并进行频率匹配。目前已从上述癌症登记处留存的报告中提取这些黑色素瘤的组织病理学信息，后续将通过与国家死亡索引（National Death Index, NDI）进行关联，获取死亡日期与死亡原因以开展生存分析。备注：原始数据来源包括：(1) 1982-2003年ANZDATA；(2) 澳大利亚卫生与福利研究所（澳大利亚癌症数据库（ACD）1982-2003年；国家死亡索引（NDI）1982-2003年）；(3) 各州及领地癌症登记处
