How can disparities in lung transplantation be addressed?

MedscapeWayne Tsuang, assistant professor of pulmonary, critical care and transplant medicine, discussed a potential strategy to address disparities in lung transplants: a concept known as continuous distribution. “The goal of the new system is to increase the efficiency of donor lung allocation and reduce the role of geography in matching wait-listed patients with donor lungs,” Tsuang said.
