Presentation Bio-immunotherapy of cancer is providing compelling proofs of clinical success in the comprehensive treatment of human malignancies. The increasing knowledge of the molecular mechanisms responsible for neoplastic transformation, the biology of cancer cells, and the immunological mechanisms regulating tumor-host interaction, allowed us to identify and apply more effective anti-cancer biogical and immunological treatments. To date, the immuno-biotherapy is a continuously evolving treatment modality and it is currently integrated into the treatment algorythms of several different tumors. Furthermore, elucidating resistance mechanisms and exploiting cancer vulnerabilities to therapeutics will ultimately improve cancer therapy and patient care. For these reasons, a multidisciplinary approach, including clinical and pre-clinical professionals, is required. This conference explores topics that will appeal to clinicians, as well as, basic, translational, and clinical scientists ranging from academics to industry. As in the past, the meeting will provide a highly interactive forum in which leading experts will discuss clinical and pre-clinical data, providing the audience with a broad overview of the most recent achievements in cancer biologic and immunologic therapy. 3
