Franco Cavalli, MD, FRCP, from the Oncology Institute of Southern Switzerland, Bellinzona, Switzerland gives us his personal highlights from the International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma (ICML) 2017 held in Lugano, Switzerland. The ICML represents not only how far scientists and clinicians have come, but also provides a push for future research. It is a great space for all researchers to develop connections and come together. The main highlight has been immunotherapy, which if can be further combined with standard treatment, may lead to a possible cure for many subsets of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
