Mission
:
This area is characterized by research on novel pathophysiologic mechanisms as well as on instrumentations, technologies, materials, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, prevention and rehabilitation techniques with special reference to the oncologic area.
Scientific aims include prevention, early diagnosis, treatment and post-surgery surveillance in oncology. In particular, the detection of precancerous conditions in high-risk subjects and the most appropriate diagnostic strategies. Adjuvant treatments to be coupled with surgery in many cancer types along with effective treatments integrated with diagnostic techniques. Novel technologies and ever-evolving materials have special interest, particularly in the setting of mini-invasive, video-assisted surgery and percutaneous surgery. The evaluation of post-transplantation prognosis is an area of major importance, particularly in relation to hepatocellular carcinoma and to updated immunosuppressive protocols.
Surgical treatment of non-cancer diseases is aimed at utilizing mini-invasive techniques and based on updated pathophysiological information, aimed at a "functional" surgery preserving the anatomical and physiological integrity of organs. Reversal and rehabilitation of impaired function following more radical surgery also belongs to this area.
