Surgical Oncologist
Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Italy
I am Chiara Colombo, a surgical oncologist working at Istituto Nazionale Tumori, Milan, Italy. I completed the university and general surgery residency training in Milan. I was then at Sarcoma Laboratory of Dr. Dina Lev - MD Anderson Cancer Center (Houston, Texas) for a research fellowship of 18 months in 2010/2011.
My practice is fully dedicated to the care of patients with soft tissue sarcoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor. I currently run an outpatient clinic dedicated to patients with desmoid fibromatosis. I have been practicing in the Sarcoma Service at Istituto Nazionale Tumori, Milan, Italy, since 2009. This is one of the major sarcoma referral center in Europe. My main research focus is on natural history and prognostic biological factors of patients with desmoid fibromatosis.
