ELI5: If a patient needing an organ transplant receives an organ with active cancer cells in. what happens?

After watching 50/50 this thought popped into my head, assuming the organ is accepted by the host would the cancer spread as normal?

Organs from cancer patients are often automatically set as unusable for transplant. So it is somewhat rare that it would happen, but if it did happen it would spread quickly due to the anti-rejection drugs suppressing the immune system of the person getting a transplant.
