All immunosupressant drugs have the same long term side effects: higher chances of getting infections and cancers. My mom, who got a transplant when she was younger (ironically for a different kidney disease than I did) has gotten multiple skin cancers over the years.
But she was also taking Immuran, an anti rejection med that is no longer commonly used. I think that one had a higher risk for cancer.
