PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The optimization of immunosuppression is an important modifiable risk factor that can have a positive impact on long-term outcomes in transplantation. Breakthroughs in transplant procedures and the development of more effective immunosuppressive therapies have improved patient outcomes, with short-term survival rates over 80%. However, by five years post-transplant, up to 25% of patients have returned to dialysis, and 50% of all grafts fail within 10 years. Emerging literature that supports minimization or elimination of CNI therapy while maintaining optimal levels of immunosuppression, may offer new strategies for post-transplant immunosuppression. Transplant medicine is moving toward a future of precision medicine that will improve long-term patient outcomes. How success in transplant is defined in 2018 may look much different from what will define success in 2025. Join experts Dr. Vincenti and Dr. Segev as they translate the dynamics of immunosuppression optimization, precision medicine, and the impact of big data on the future of transplant medicine.
