About
Dr. Anna Bertocco is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology, with a focused expertise in fertility-preserving surgery for young women with cervical cancer. Her seminal work centers on radical trachelectomy (RT), a procedure that removes the cervix while sparing the uterus, offering hope for future childbearing. In her highly cited 2013 systematic review, which has garnered 49 citations, Dr. Bertocco provided a critical comparison of all RT techniques—vaginal, abdominal, laparoscopic, and robotic—analyzing over 1,200 cases. This landmark study evaluated surgical complications, disease recurrence, and subsequent fertility and pregnancy outcomes, establishing a comprehensive evidence base that has guided clinical decision-making worldwide. By systematically assessing the risks and benefits of each approach, she helped refine surgical standards and expand reproductive options for young patients. Dr. Bertocco’s contributions have significantly advanced the field of oncofertility, bridging the gap between aggressive cancer treatment and quality of life. Her work remains a cornerstone reference for surgeons and researchers striving to balance oncologic safety with fertility preservation, cementing her reputation as a pioneer in minimally invasive, patient-centered gynecologic cancer care.
