About
Francesca Fiorentino is a leading researcher in urological pathology, with a primary focus on improving surgical outcomes for prostate cancer through advanced imaging technologies. Her most cited work centers on the development and clinical application of fluorescence confocal microscopy for intraoperative margin assessment during radical prostatectomy. As the lead author of the IP8-FLUORESCE study protocol, she addresses a critical challenge in prostate cancer surgery: the reliable and cost-effective evaluation of surgical margins in real time. This work aims to reduce the burden on pathology departments while enhancing the precision of tumor resection. With her protocol paper already garnering 10 citations shortly after publication, Fiorentino's research is gaining rapid recognition for its potential to transform standard surgical practice. Her contributions sit at the intersection of pathology, surgical oncology, and biomedical optics, offering a practical solution to a longstanding clinical problem. By pioneering fluorescence confocal microscopy in this context, she is helping to pave the way for more accessible, accurate intraoperative diagnostics that could ultimately improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
