Brief Summary: RATIONALE Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development or recurrence of cancer The use of acitretin may be an effective way to prevent the recurrence or further development of skin cancer

PURPOSE Randomized clinical trial to study the effectiveness of acitretin in preventing skin cancers in patients with at least two previously treated skin cancers who have undergone organ transplantation
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the chemopreventive efficacy of acitretin in immunosuppressed solid organ transplant recipients with a history of multiple previous basal cell carcinoma BCC or squamous cell carcinoma SCC skin cancer resections
Evaluate human papillomavirus HPV as a possible etiologic cofactor in the development of cutaneous epidermal dysplasiacarcinoma from skin tissues of these patients
Determine the effect of acitretin on potential surrogate endpoint biomarkers and HPV DNA in normal sun protected sun-exposed and dysplastic and carcinoma SCCBCC skin specimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients are stratified according to age at least 18 to under 50 vs 50 to 59 vs 60 to 69 vs 70 and over number of prior skin cancers in past 5 years 2 vs 3 vs at least 4 time since most recent skin cancer occurrence less than 12 months vs at least 12 months sunburn susceptibility none vs moderate vs high visible skin damage mild vs moderate vs severe

Patients receive either oral acitretin or placebo daily for 2 years Skin biopsies are obtained at 1 year from normal areas and from any areas with skin cancer for genetic studies

Patients are followed every 6 months
