Medical Oncologist
Veneto Institute of Oncology IOV – IRCCS, Italy
I am full time consultant at the Division of Oncology 1 at the Istituto Oncologico Veneto in Padova. Over the past 15 years, I have been committed to medical treatment and clinical research of solid tumors, with particular interest in sarcoma and cancer in the elderly.
I am currently involved as either principal investigator or co-investigator in clinical and translational research projects in sarcoma and oncogeriatric trials. I am the physician in charge for the Geriatric Oncology Program at Istituto Oncologico Veneto, and was the chair of the task force Cancer in Elderly of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) in the years 2018-2020. Beyond CTOS, I am active member of major oncology scientific societies (American Society of Clinical Oncology – ASCO; European Society of Medical Oncology – ESMO), as well as Italian Sarcoma Group (ISG), European Musculo-Skeletal Oncology Society (EMSOS), and International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG).
