Incidence of lung cancer is increased after LT. Follow-up care allows early diagnosis with a comparably high share of operable tumor stage. Cancer as well as postoperative complications were more likely after single lung transplantation (SLT). Postoperative morbidity and mortality are higher in this scarce group of patients and hence, warrants a centered and experienced interdisciplinary approach.
