About
Federica Massa is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of oncology, robotics, and digital health. Her primary research focuses on advancing precision surgery for prostate cancer, specifically through the integration of augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) into robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Massa’s major contributions center on the development and clinical validation of hyperaccuracy three-dimensional (HA3D™) reconstruction technology, which transforms multiparametric MRI data into detailed, patient-specific 3D models. Her landmark 2019 study on three-dimensional elastic augmented-reality robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (125 citations) demonstrated how this technology can identify capsular involvement with unprecedented clarity, while her 2018 radiological-pathological study (100 citations) established the foundational accuracy of HA3D™. More recently, her 2023 work on AI-driven augmented reality for selective biopsy during nerve-sparing surgery (31 citations) represents a leap toward automated, real-time tumor localization. With over 250 combined citations across these core papers, Massa’s research is shaping a future where surgeons can “see” cancer margins in real time—enhancing oncologic control while preserving healthy tissue. Her work has earned her recognition as a leading voice in the emerging field of digital surgery.
