Speaking at the two-day scientific seminar Lupus Connect 2.0, jointly organized by the Institute of Rheumatology and Immunology Sciences (IRIS) and the Women’s Health in Rheumatology Association (WHIRA), specialists highlighted that personalized treatment pathways can help control disease progression, prevent organ damage, and significantly improve long-term outcomes.
