I agree, if the cancer was unknown to the doctors and hospital at the time of the transplant how can that constitute malpractice? A jury still might give the plaintiffs an award based on sympathy toward the unfortunate man and I assume such a verdict would stand. Lawyers, please check in.

Here’s the real problem, IMO. Transplant patients are put on drugs to suppress the immune system. I knew of a heart transplant young man (son of a co-worker) who died a few years later of cancer because of the immunosuppressants. That probably has a lot to do with this man’s cancer growing.
