Disinhibition and reset of the host immune response could have led to immune destruction of the liver metastases of this patient's immunogenic dMMR colon carcinoma. This case underscores the huge impact that temporary relief from immunosuppressive therapy could have on tumor homeostasis. Balanced management of care for organ transplant recipients with malignancies requires a multidisciplinary approach involving medical oncologists and transplant physicians to reach the best quality of care in these complex cases.
