Abstract
Strategies for dealing with the exponential growth of the waiting lists for solid organ transplants were the hottest clinical topics in 2002, and dominated the abstracts presented at ATC 2002. Other clinical topics that were prominent in the 2002 literature and received the highest scores at ATC 2002 included: the development of immunosuppressive regimens minimizing calcineurin inhibitors and eliminating steroids; the increasing frequency and severity of hepatitis C recurrence following transplantation; the safety and efficacy of solid organ transplantation in HIV-positive recipients; the induction of tolerance with donor stem cell infusion and recipient preconditioning; the increasing incidence of BK virus; and beta-cell replacement for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.Keywords
