About
Dr. Andrea Castaldi is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose research is reshaping the surgical management of lung cancer, with a particular focus on minimally invasive techniques and gender-specific outcomes. Her most impactful work evaluates robotic versus open surgery for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a critical area where robotic surgery’s technological advantages are being rigorously tested against the traditional gold standard. This landmark study, which has already garnered 10 citations, provides vital evidence on surgical and oncological outcomes for this complex patient group. Dr. Castaldi has also distinguished herself by championing the study of gender-related outcomes in lung cancer surgery, highlighting how genetic, molecular, and hormonal factors uniquely affect female patients—a contribution that has earned 7 citations and underscores her commitment to personalized care. Additionally, she is advancing surgical education through innovative 3D-model training for minimally invasive thoracic surgery, preparing the next generation of surgeons. Her work bridges cutting-edge technology, surgical precision, and patient-centered research, making her a leading voice in modern thoracic oncology.
