The @ITHACA_Study team looks forward to meeting you at this great event

Hello #AcademicTwitter #MedTwitter & welcome to the ITHACA study page! A clinical study of the Immunology of THymectomy And childhood CArdiac transplant as a risk factor for posttransplant lymphoma (PTLD). A bit more about our research & what we set out to achieve. 🧵(1/10)
A little over a year ago @Docoff3 published the study which led to @ITHACA_Study in @TheJHLT
In this Jan Issue of JHLT bit.ly/3n3W7J0, Offor et al. show increased risk of #PTLD with congenital heart disease which may result from the immunological impact of thymectomy and reduced control of EBV infx @sbomken @Docoff3 @GreatNorthCH @NCL_medresearch @NU_Cancer
