About

Andrea Finco is a surgical oncologist whose research centers on the application of robotic surgery in gynecologic oncology, with a particular focus on cervical and endometrial cancers. Her most cited work, a 9-year study on survival outcomes of robotic radical hysterectomy for early stage cervical cancer, directly addresses the critical debate sparked by the LACC trial regarding the safety of minimally invasive approaches. By analyzing a large consecutive series, Finco provides real-world evidence that challenges the trial’s conclusions, demonstrating that robotic surgery can achieve oncologic outcomes comparable to open surgery when performed by experienced surgeons. This contribution has been cited 3 times, reflecting its relevance to ongoing clinical discussions. Her research also explores surgical techniques, perioperative outcomes, and quality of life, helping to refine robotic protocols and patient selection. Finco’s work is instrumental in guiding surgeons and patients through the evolving landscape of cervical cancer treatment, offering data-driven reassurance for the continued use of robotics in carefully selected cases.
