Where Italian oncology was born,
to shape the future of breast care.
My commitment
Expertise, clarity
and continuity.
For more than thirty years, I have focused on the prevention, diagnosis and surgical treatment of breast disease. Every pathway begins with listening and is developed together with the patient, integrating clinical experience, research and multidisciplinary discussion.

For patients
Clear information,
at every step.
Practical guidance helps patients approach consultations and surgery with greater confidence. Instructions from the treating hospital always take priority over general information.
Before the consultation
Bring recent imaging, previous breast reports, pathology results, a list of medications and any records relating to previous surgery or treatment.
Before surgery
Pre-operative tests and instructions on medication, fasting and admission are provided by the treating hospital. Always follow the centre’s specific guidance.
After surgery
Recovery depends on the procedure. At discharge, patients receive personalised advice about pain control, wound care, arm movement, follow-up and warning signs.
A great history.
A new responsibility.
Breast Surgery at INT
Care and research,
within one pathway.
Leading Breast Surgery at the National Cancer Institute means returning to a place where a fundamental part of Italian breast oncology began. My commitment is to preserve this heritage and turn it into the future: broader access, measurable quality, stronger research and true teamwork.
Person-centred care
A coordinated pathway that respects each patient’s history, priorities and preferences.
Multidisciplinary decisions
Close collaboration across surgery, radiology, pathology, medical oncology, radiotherapy, genetics and plastic surgery.
Clinical research
Clinical practice generates questions; research turns those questions into better care and new knowledge.
Measurable quality
Volumes, waiting times, outcomes and patient experience guide continuous improvement.
Scientific research
Clinical practice
generates new questions.
My scientific work focuses on breast cancer surgery, sentinel lymph node management, conservative treatment, Day Surgery pathways, rare presentations and the integration of clinical care with translational research.
