The "Summer School of Immuno-Oncology: Emerging targets and combination therapies" aims to discuss knowledge and recent advances in the field of cancer immunotherapy. A panel of national and international lecturers will cover various aspects of preclinical and clinical immuno-oncology, ranging from the study of basic pathogenetic mechanisms for the discovery of new immunotherapeutic targets to more clinical aspects related to the effectiveness of combinatorial approaches in boosting cancer immunotherapy. The school will provide young oncologists, PhDs and PhD students, involved in clinical and research projects related to cancer immunotherapy, with a solid background in novel immuno-oncology topics. In particular, we will focus on issues related to: inflammation and cancer; the immunity-cancer interface: mutational load of the tumor and editing of immune responses; myelopoietic alterations, tumor microenvironment and anticancer immunotherapy; radioimmunotherapy and immunotherapy of blood cancers; clinical immunotherapy; antiviral response of the host and cancer development; role of immunosenescence and inflammaging in neoplasms; and immunological disorders and cancer. Furthermore, advanced knowledge on statistics will be provided for the analysis of preclinical and clinical data. The goal is to discuss the current state of knowledge in the field of cancer immunotherapy from an interdisciplinary and translational “bench-to-bedside” standpoint.
