Surgeon
Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Italy
I am an experienced surgical oncologist with over 20 years of specialization in soft tissue sarcoma and a dedicated focus on advancing surgical care for both adult and pediatric oncology patients. My expertise spans from contributing to evolving standards for retroperitoneal sarcoma to a growing dedication to pediatric surgical oncology, particularly for conditions like soft tissue sarcomas, Wilms tumor, and neuroblastoma. My work is guided by a commitment to advancing patient outcomes and optimizing surgical approaches for complex, challenging cases.
As an active member of the TransAtlantic Australasian Retroperitoneal Sarcoma Working Group (TARPSWG) since its inception, I have contributed to shaping treatment standards and innovations in retroperitoneal sarcoma care. In this role, I serve on the Governance Committee of RESAR, an international registry gathering crucial data on retroperitoneal sarcoma treatments and outcomes.
