Organ Allocation Proceedings of the 30th Conference on Transplantation and Clinical Immunology, 2–4 June, 1998

Over the last few years, transplantation knowledge and techniques, as well as insights into pharmacology, have improved, thus enabling greater access to transplantation for patients. The pool of organs for transplantation is stable, and therefore insufficient to cope with the growing demand. To adju...
