Personal
I have worked as Clinical and Radiation Oncologist since 2011 at the Radiation Oncology Unit of the Oncology Department at the Florence University Hospital (Florence, Italy). I am responsible for the outpatient clinics and clinical trials Units, and leader of the clinical oncology group of the breast cancer multidisciplinary team/Breast Unit. In 2018, I became associate professor at the Department of Clinical and Experimental Biomedical Sciences “Mario Serio” of the University of Florence (Florence, Italy).
I consider myself to be a passionate oncologist taking care of my patients in a holistic fashion, and integrating my clinical, empathic, and academic skills. I am married to a medical physicist active in the field of automated planning in radiation therapy and breast cancer. Outside of work, I am father of a wonderful daughter and I adore spending quality time with my family, traveling, playing tennis, and discovering cultures.
Background
I am an active member of ESTRO, European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer – EORTC, European Society of Medical Oncology – ESMO, and the Italian Association of Radiotherapy and Clinical Oncology – AIRO. I am a member of the steering committee of the EORTC Breast Cancer Group and Radiation Oncology Scientific Council and a former Chair of the AIRO Breast Cancer Group, and founder of the Clinical Oncology Breast Cancer Group – COBCG cooperative network. In addition, I am a Core Group member of the ESTRO Guidelines Committee Sub-Group on Breast (former ACROP) and a Faculty member of the ESTRO teachers’ courses and of the College of the European School of Oncology – ESO.
My main fields of interest are breast cancer, multimodal treatments, oligometastatic disease, health-related quality of life, prevention of cardiac toxicity, hypofractionation, partial breast irradiation, clinical trials research. I am an author of over 220 peer-reviewed international papers and principal investigator of several phase 2-3 trials. My research focusses on de-escalation and optimisation of treatments, to tailor oncological approaches to improve cancer outcomes and health-related quality of life for patients (for example, I am principal investigator of phase 3 trials: EUROPA, SAFE, and Florence-APBI-IMRT).
I promote the international and national networking among professionals in a multidisciplinary fashion and facilitate connections between new generations of oncologists. I am a faculty teacher for ESTRO courses, namely the accelerated partial breast irradiation. Through ESTRO, I have highlighted the crucial importance of mentorship. I collaborate with surgical and medical oncologists, promoting mentorship teaching at preceptorship through the European Society of Surgical Oncology – ESSO and ESMO and I support social media activities with ESO.
I am involved in development of guidelines and recommendations within ESTRO, through the ESTRO Guidelines Committee, and contributed to DIBH, re-irradiation, oligometastatic definition and OligoCARE projects (ESTRO-EORTC joint initiative), and RT-drug combination guidelines in breast cancer.
I am involved in several initiatives promoting implementation of technological advances in radiation therapy to limit toxic effects of treatments and to increase the effectiveness of therapy. An example is minimising cardiac toxicity by using modern RT techniques and evaluating pharmacological prevention of subclinical heart damage in patients also receiving systemic therapy for breast cancer. As a clinical oncologist, I am fully involved in integrating RT and modern drugs, and I lead an international multidisciplinary expert panel to develop guidelines on concomitant treatment for breast cancer.
Lastly and importantly, I endeavour to promote and enhance equity, diversity, and inclusion in oncology, by limiting ethnic and gender inequality in science and facilitating equity of access to optimal treatments for all patients.
