Chiara Marzorati

About

Chiara Marzorati is a leading researcher in psycho-oncology and health-related quality of life (QoL), with a particular focus on cancer survivorship. Her work centers on identifying longitudinal trajectories of recovery and validating patient-reported outcome measures to better understand the psychological and functional impacts of cancer treatments. Marzorati’s major contributions include pioneering studies on post-surgical recovery in prostate and lung cancer patients, where she has demonstrated how clinical and sociodemographic factors predict distinct one-year recovery pathways. Her validation of the Italian version of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC-26) and the EORTC QLQ-C30 has provided essential, culturally adapted tools for assessing QoL in Italian cancer patients, with her most-cited papers accumulating over 75 citations. Notably, her research on robot-assisted prostatectomy and lobectomy has informed personalized care strategies, highlighting the importance of integrating psychological support into surgical recovery. Marzorati’s work is instrumental in advancing evidence-based, patient-centered oncology care, making her a key voice in the field of cancer survivorship and quality-of-life research.
