About
Dr. Jaqueline Schaparini Fonini is a pioneering thoracic surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of robotic technology and complex oncologic care. Her primary research focuses on advanced minimally invasive techniques for managing pleural malignancies, particularly recurrent thymoma. Dr. Fonini’s most notable contribution is her 2024 study on the novel combination of robotic pleurectomy and cytoreduction with Hyperthermic Intrathoracic Chemotherapy (HITHOC) for pleural recurrence of Type AB thymoma. This work addresses a critical clinical challenge: while thymomas are often indolent, their recurrence rate can reach up to 50%, and traditional reoperations carry significant morbidity. By demonstrating the feasibility of a robotic approach for this invasive procedure, she offers a promising pathway to reduce surgical trauma while maintaining oncologic rigor. Though early in its citation history, this study has already established her as a forward-thinking innovator in thoracic surgical oncology. Dr. Fonini’s dedication to refining surgical strategies for rare, aggressive recurrences positions her as a key voice in the evolution of robotic thoracic surgery and multidisciplinary cancer care.
