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)
PUBLICATION: Read how we are investigating immunological risk factors for the most common childhood cancer in organ transplant patients. Funded by @CR_UK & Lymphoma Research Trust @sbomken @NU_Cancer @NuTHResearch @GreatOrmondSt @GreatNorthCH

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
