About

Dr. Andrea Scacchi is a leading surgical oncologist whose research centers on minimally invasive approaches to gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary cancers, with a particular focus on robotic and laparoscopic techniques. Dr. Scacchi has made pivotal contributions to the surgical management of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). In a landmark 2021 multicenter study, Dr. Scacchi demonstrated the safety and efficacy of robotic and laparoscopic wedge resection for gastric GISTs, a work that has garnered 47 citations and helped establish minimally invasive surgery as the standard of care for these tumors. Further advancing the field, Dr. Scacchi’s systematic review on robotic surgery for CRLM resection (42 citations) synthesized evidence from nine studies, highlighting the potential for improved perioperative outcomes. A comprehensive literature review of 1,730 patients undergoing simultaneous resection of synchronous colorectal liver metastases and primary tumors (28 citations) provided critical insights into patient selection and surgical strategy. Most recently, Dr. Scacchi led a multicenter propensity score matching analysis comparing robotic versus open liver resection for CRLM, contributing to the growing evidence base for robotic approaches in high-volume referral centers. This body of work, totaling over 129 citations, positions Dr. Scacchi as a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive oncologic surgery.
