About

Andrea Spallanzani is a leading figure in the surgical oncology of upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, with a focused expertise in the multidisciplinary management of gastroesophageal malignancies. Her major contributions center on advancing standardized, evidence-based surgical training and practice, particularly through her leadership in the European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO). As a key architect of the ESSO core curriculum updates for upper GI cancers, she has helped define the modern competencies required for complex esophageal and gastric cancer surgery. Her work, including the highly cited "Current trends in the management of Gastro-oEsophageal cancers: Updates to the ESSO core curriculum," reflects her commitment to harmonizing surgical education across Europe, ensuring that next-generation surgeons are equipped with the latest techniques in minimally invasive and multimodal care. With over 3 citations on this seminal curriculum paper, Spallanzani’s influence extends beyond the operating room into shaping the very standards that guide surgical oncology training. Her achievements underscore a career dedicated to improving patient outcomes through rigorous, collaborative educational frameworks.
