Figure 1 Kaplan–Meier plot for development of keratinocyte carcinomas (KCs) in relation to human papillomavirus (HPV) serology. The cumulative incidence of keratinocyte carcinomas (KCs) is statistically significantly higher in organ transplant recipients (OTRs) who were seropositive against one or more HPV types of the Beta-papillomavirus (Beta-PV) genus between 1 year before and 1 year after the transplantation (P=0.043).
