1 Human Papillomavirus Infection and Skin Cancer Risk in Organ Transplant Recipients 
Jan N. Bouwes Bavinck, Mariet Feltkamp, Linda Struijk, Jan ter Schegget  Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings  Volume 6, Issue 3, Pages (December 2001) DOI: /j x x Copyright © 2001 The Society for Investigative Dermatology, Inc Terms and Conditions

2 Figure 1 HPV in different skin lesions. Percentages of HPV DNA in squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), Bowen's disease (MB), basal cell carcinomas (BCC), actinic keratoses (AK), hyperkeratotic papillomas (HP), and normal skin (NS) as tested with PCR that are specific for EV-HPV types of subgroup A, B, and C, and other cutaneous HPV types: S (for explanation, see text). Modified fromBerkhout et al (2000). Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings 2001 6, DOI: ( /j x x) Copyright © 2001 The Society for Investigative Dermatology, Inc Terms and Conditions

3 Figure 2 Association between keratotic skin lesions and skin cancer. Mean number of keratotic skin lesions in organ transplant recipients with and without squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Modified fromde Jong-Tieben et al (2000).

4 Figure 3 Possible interaction between exposure to sunlight and EV-HPV infection. Inhibition of apoptosis in response to UV damage by the E6 protein from a range of cutaneous HPV types may play a key role in providing a survival advantage to genetically damaged keratinocytes, resulting in actinic keratoses and squamous cell carcinoma.
