Luca Tagliaferri, Italy
In this symposium, the latest advancements in Interventional Radio-Immunotherapy will be discussed, emphasizing the synergy between radiotherapy and immunotherapy to improve cancer treatment outcomes, with a special focus on brachytherapy (Interventional radiotherapy). The lectures will cover radiobiological aspects, including the effects of different radiation types and dose rates, and address challenges in dose distribution. Additionally, the symposium will focus on specific tumors such as gynecological, head, neck, skin, and urological cancers. Ongoing clinical trials and future directions will be explored, with an emphasis on personalized approaches based on tumor immune profiling to optimize treatment efficacy.
