Sjogren’s is not a simple disease. Nearly 40% of patients develop organ involvement, and the risk of lymphoma is 15 to 20 times that of the general population. It’s also a disease that’s often oversimplified as "just dryness"—even by rheumatologists.
Over the course of five groundbreaking episodes, you’ll hear from the world’s leading Sjogren’s experts, who will decode what every clinician needs to know: what Sjogren’s really looks like, what’s routinely being missed, and why over the next couple of years, everything is going to change.
