Programme description

This program explores the integration of immunotherapy with radical treatment methods—such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemoradiotherapy—in the management of various cancers (sarcoma, urological cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer). The aim is to facilitate the aquisition of expertise in optimizing therapeutic strategies that combine immune-based approaches with curative-intent treatments, enhancing patient outcomes while minimizing toxicity.

Key focus areas include:

  • Mechanisms of synergy between immunotherapy and radical therapies
  • Current clinical evidence and ongoing trials
  • Patient selection and timing of combined treatments
  • Biomarkers and response monitoring
  • Management of immune-related complications
  • Practical considerations and case-based discussions

The program is designed for oncology professionals interested in advancing their knowledge and clinical practice in multidisciplinary cancer treatment, with an emphasis on innovation, evidence-based care, and translational
