231 scientific publications.

developed at IEO in the care of breast cancer, representing the most important advances in breast oncology
on an international level.

He has worked for the improvement of conservative surgery techniques for breast cancer and the
development of the sentinel lymph node technique and intraoperative radiotherapy as a complement to
conservative surgery.

Other major research fields, in collaboration with the Department of Oncology of Medical Senology, concern
the experimentation of preoperative drug therapies, with the aim of further increasing the proportion of
patients who are candidates for conservative surgery. For patients requiring mastectomy, the close
collaboration with the Plastic Surgery Division has enabled the development of "conservative" mastectomy,
which preserves the aesthetic appearance of the breast while providing complete removal of the glandular
tissue.
