About

A. Giglio is a gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on refining surgical staging and intraoperative assessment for endometrial cancer. Their work addresses critical challenges in determining the extent of disease spread, particularly the need for lymph node dissection. Giglio’s most impactful study, “Challenges to Intraoperative Evaluation of Endometrial Cancer” (2020, 10 citations), critically examines the validated Mayo Clinic criteria—histopathology, grade, tumor size, and myometrial invasion depth—used to predict lymph node metastasis risk. This work highlights the limitations and practical difficulties of frozen section analysis, guiding surgeons toward more reliable decision-making. Giglio has also advanced minimally invasive techniques, authoring key papers on robotic-assisted sentinel lymph node (SLN) sampling (2018, 3 citations; 2021, 2 citations). These studies evaluate the use of indocyanine green dye with near-infrared fluorescence, demonstrating its technical simplicity and sensitivity in robot-assisted staging. By validating SLN mapping as an alternative to complete lymphadenectomy, Giglio’s contributions help reduce surgical morbidity while maintaining diagnostic accuracy. Their research bridges the gap between traditional pathology and modern robotic surgery, offering practical insights for clinicians managing endometrial cancer.
