About
Dr. Diana Giannarelli is a leading surgical oncologist whose work has transformed the management of urologic and gynecologic cancers through the advancement of minimally invasive techniques. Her primary research focuses on comparing robot-assisted and open surgical approaches, with landmark contributions demonstrating that robotic radical cystectomy achieves comparable oncologic outcomes to open surgery while improving patient quality of life—a finding supported by her 2021 randomized trial (77 citations). She has pioneered zero-ischemia robotic partial nephrectomy for tumors larger than 4 cm, showing that controlled hypotension can preserve renal function without compromising surgical efficacy (47 and 21 citations). Dr. Giannarelli has also developed novel trifecta and pentafecta metrics to holistically assess surgical success, and she is actively investigating robotic platforms like Hugo™ RAS for gynecologic procedures. Her ongoing randomized trials address critical questions in obese endometrial cancer patients and low-risk cervical cancer, with her work collectively cited over 200 times. Through rigorous clinical trials and innovative surgical frameworks, Dr. Giannarelli continues to shape evidence-based practice in robotic oncology.
