Eligible studies described cancer originating from the graft recipient metastasizing to a transplant organ. Studies were summarized across six key domains: patient characteristics, primary tumor types, transplant history, imaging, metastatic cancer treatment, and complications and mortality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of the 643 studies identified and screened, 12 met the inclusion criteria. The mean patient age was 58 years (\u00b111 years). Affected organs included the liver (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 7), kidney (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 4), and lung (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 1). The most common primary cancer was colorectal cancer. Immunosuppression regimens most often included tacrolimus or cyclosporine.
