The power of youth represents the versatility of the Middle East, which has the largest number of youths among other world regions. Therefore, when addressing the future of organ transplantation in this region, the perspectives of young transplant professionals would be invaluable. Organ donation and transplantation in the Middle East face many challenges. These challenges, which would be transferred to young professionals pursuing a career in transplantation, are related to transplant education, training, and the health system itself. Young transplant professionals are seeking a platform that will bring the wisdom of leaders and the energy of youth transplant professionals together. This platform would focus on increasing recruitment and engagement of young physicians and surgeons and decreasing the hurdles mentioned above. A team of young professionals from the Middle East Society for Organ Transplantation countries hopes to bring their different perspectives into fruitful actions. Online education, career development, basic science research, and others are potential goals to be tackled. However, achieving this could not be possible without mutual collaborations with other young colleague teams from other transplant societies. Indeed, these actions can improve transplant science globally and in the MESOT region.

Up to half of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, for which effective treatment options are lacking, resulting in a poor prognosis. Over the past few years, the combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and anti-angiogenic targeted therapy has proven highly efficacious in treating advanced HCC, significantly extending patients' survival and providing a potential for sequential curative surgery. After sequential curative hepatectomy or liver transplantation following conversion therapy, patients can receive long-term survival benefits.

Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (HSOS) has gained recognition as a rare form of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in recent years. Although extensively studied in the context of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), the applicability of this knowledge to drug-induced HSOS remains limited due to distinct etiological factors. The primary causes of drug-induced HSOS include the ingestion of pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA)-containing plants, as well as the use of chemotherapeutic agents and immunosuppressive drugs.

Moral Inequity in Organ Donation: An Examination of Age-Based Denial.

The decision to donate an organ is often the decision to save a loved one's life. Frequently recognized as an ultimate act of altruism, a person's choice to donate is embedded in their right to make decisions about their own body and well-being, free of coercion. To ensure donors are truly acting out of altruism, transplant professionals will not allow someone to donate if there are concerns of duress or inability to consent.
