Abstract

A case report of a patient with advanced colorectal cancer complicated by 18-year immunosuppressive drug therapy after kidney transplantation is presented. Long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs may complicate postoperative period, but must not be a contradiction to extensive abdominal and pelvic surgery.
