Organized by the Spanish Group for Cancer Immuno-Biotherapies (GÉTICA), the 12th Forum on Translational Immunology and Immunotherapy of Cancer (FIT Cancer 12) is a benchmark scientific and educational event in the field. The forum will take place in Málaga, Spain, from March 5 to 6, 2026, at the Hotel ILUNION Málaga. The event aims to bridge the gap between basic immunology research and clinical oncology by presenting the latest advancements in cancer immunotherapy and multimodal treatments.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the fundamental principles of tumor immunology, detailing both innate and adaptive immune responses, as well as antigen presentation.

• Analyze the critical role of cytokines and the tumor microenvironment in cancer progression and therapy.

• Evaluate the foundational principles and clinical potentials of modern cell therapies and radioimmunobiology.

• Navigate complex clinical decision-making, specifically regarding immunotherapy rechallenge after patients experience grade 3 immune-mediated toxicities.

• Assess the latest clinical advances, emerging biomarkers, and integration strategies for radio-immunotherapy across specific malignancies, including gastrointestinal, bladder, gynecological, and head and neck cancers.

Target Audience

This forum is designed for medical oncologists, immunologists, radiation oncologists, clinical researchers, translational scientists, and physicians-in-training (such as MIR residents) who are deeply involved in the research, development, and clinical application of cancer immunotherapies.

Best for Medical Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, Immunologists, Urologists, Gynecologic Oncologists, and Gastroenterologists.
