About
Dario Monzani is a leading researcher in psycho-oncology and patient-reported outcomes, with a focus on quality of life (QoL) recovery trajectories following cancer surgery. His work centers on identifying longitudinal patterns of physical and psychological dysfunction—particularly urinary, sexual, and general QoL—in patients undergoing robot-assisted procedures for prostate and lung cancers. Monzani’s major contributions include validating key Italian-language instruments, such as the EPIC-26 and EORTC QLQ-C30, ensuring culturally sensitive and psychometrically robust measurement of patient well-being. His 2019 study on prostate cancer patients’ recovery trajectories (22 citations) and his validation of the Italian EPIC-26 (20 citations) are foundational for personalized post-surgical care. In lung cancer, his 2020 work on one-year QoL trends after lobectomy (19 citations) highlights how clinical and psychological predictors differentiate patient outcomes. By integrating sociodemographic and medical variables, Monzani’s research enables clinicians to anticipate and support vulnerable patients. His validation studies, with strong measurement invariance, have been widely adopted in Italian oncology settings, advancing evidence-based, patient-centered care.
