Session Description

Patients face a variety of biological and health-related barriers to transplantation. This session reviews precision medicine approaches to overcoming barriers related to HLA, cancer, obesity, and recurrent disease.

ASN gratefully acknowledges Wolters Kluwer (publisher of UpToDate), the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Department of Medicine Foundation, the Rose Family, and several of Dr. Rose’s colleagues for supporting this lectureship.

ASN thanks the American Society of Transplantation for assistance with this session.

Learning Objective(s)

• Explain which anti-HLA antibodies can be safely crossed to increase patient access to transplantation
• Describe minimal waiting times for transplantation in patients with a history of cancer
