Reprogramming tumor-immune cell interface in solid and hematological malignancies to enhance response to therapy

The 30thAnnual Conference of Italian Association of Cell Cultures (AICC) was held at Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, in Milan, on November 27–28, 2017, with the Scientific Coordination of Claudia Chiodoni and Mario Paolo Colombo, from the same Institute. The conference was opened by Katia Scotlandi, President of the Italian Association of Cell Cultures. The main objective of the conference was to discuss the present knowledge on the role of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment, shaped by cells promoting tumor survival that could be reeducated to treat cancer. The meeting was organized in two days with 5 thematic sessions, an opening and a closing lecture, with national and international speakers. The organizers truly thank those who took part in the conference and made the Conference a success.
