The ultimate goal is to reach new frontiers in the management of patient suffering from onco-haematological neoplasms, and offer the patient free of charge in our nation the best diagnostic-therapeutic opportunities “. “Soho Italy – remembers Cerchione – has carried out an ambitious project in the last year, through the creation of two ‘Schools’: the Soho Italy School of Multiple Myeloma and the Soho Italy School of Acute Leukemia, two digital events held respectively in December 2020 and March 2021, which saw the foundation of the ‘cantere’ of Soho Italy. La cantera is a team of young hematologists who, through abstract submissions, have been selected to present their scientific contents as oral communication, flanked by a host of international experts called Big Faculty. Another challenge recently overcome by Soho Italy was the creation of a partnership with Australian colleagues from Monash University (Andrew Spencer, David Greening, Antonia Reale) and the team of Angelo Vacca (University of Studies of Bari) This collaboration has given rise to a focus on extracellular vesicles, a topic that is certainly very specific, but of extreme r ilevanza in the haematological field “.
