25: PTC Online Resource Library

Updated: 2/14/2022

There are many resources available online about all aspects of cancer (fewer specifically devoted to post-transplant risks, but other information would still be applicable for post-transplant issues), MANY (literally 100's) of which are listed here:

PTC Resources: Site links, videos, articles, and so much more . . .

 

TRIO Full-length Cancer-related Videos by our PTC medical faculty:

The TRIO Transplant Presentation Library features many full-length post-transplant cancer presentations by medical staff that are available on YouTube.  Most are either one-on-one interviews or support group presentations, some over an hour in length as transplant recipients in the audience question, and engage in discussion with these noted presenters. Segments from these recordings are found throughout this PTC website in support of appropriate subject pages.  They are listed here for further access convenience, duplicating their listing in that Transplant Presentation Library index which can be found along with over 100+ transplant-related videos that are not cancer-focused, but of patient interest.Cancer researchers Note: the indexed/topic-searchable full TRIO Transplant Presentation Library is available at https://www.trioweb.org/resources/transplant-presentation-library-dvd-program.html

The AJT (American Journal of Transplantation) ran a 12‐month series of articles about cancer, a major complication of solid organ transplantation and gave TRIO public access so they could be offered here:
