Otley: Skin Disease in Organ Transplantation

Skin disease is a serious, long-term problem for the recipients of solid organ transplants. The potent systemic immunosuppression therapy necessary to sustain a life-saving solid organ transplant is associated with many adverse cutaneous effects, including significantly increased rates of cutaneous malignancies, difficult-to-treat cutaneous infections, and cutaneous adverse manifestations of multiple medications. Skin Disease in Organ Transplantation is the first scholarly compilation of the knowledge base surrounding the care of solid organ transplant recipients with dermatologic diseases.
Supplemented with dozens of full-color photographs, this work brings together decades of knowledge into a cohesive format and establishes transplant dermatology as an important subspecialty within the field of dermatology and transplant medicine. Skin Disease in Organ Transplantation is an outstanding resource for transplant providers and dermatologists to determine the optimal diagnostic and therapeutic approach to the difficult problems of cutaneous disease in organ transplant recipients.

He was the founding President of The International Transplant-Skin Cancer Collaborative, an organization dedicated to the advancement of clinical care and research for transplant patients with skin cancer and skin diseases. Dr. Otley attended medical school at Duke University School of Medicine and then received his specialty training in dermatology at Harvard University, serving as chief resident of the Department of Dermatology at Massachusetts General Hospital in 1995. He subsequently completed a fellowship in cutaneous oncology and Mohs micrographic surgery at Mayo Clinic, finishing in 1996. Dr. Otley has served on the Board of Directors of the American College of Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Cutaneous Oncology, as well as the Association of Academic Dermatologic Surgeons. He is a reviewer for the New England Journal of Medicine, the Archives of Dermatology, Dermatologic Surgery, and the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. He received the Young Leaders Award from the American Dermatologic Association prior to his induction to that organization. Dr. Otley has written more than 70 original research articles and lectures nationally and internationally.
Dr. Thomas Stasko is Associate Professor of Medicine (Dermatology) at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. He received his medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio in 1977. After an internship at the U.S. Air Force Medical Center at Scott AFB, Illinois, he served as a General Medical Officer before completing a residency in dermatology at the University of Texas Health Science Center in 1983. His fellowship training in Mohs micrographic surgery was at Tufts/New England Medical Center in Boston. Dr. Stasko is the current President of the International Transplant-Skin Cancer Collaborative and also serves on the Board of Directors of the American College of Mohs Micrographic Surgery and Cutaneous Oncology. He has lectured and published widely on cutaneous oncology in solid organ transplant recipients.
