The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), in collaboration with the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC), is excited to announce a primer program at the 2025 ESMO Immuno-Oncology Congress. The joint primer will cover a wide range of topics across the field of IO, including the current state of neoadjuvent immunotherapy of solid tumors, intratumoral immunotherapies, recombinant cytokines, immunocytokines, bispecific antibodies, AI and machine learning, spatial biology, and multiomic approaches for biomarker development.
