About

Pier Giorgio Nardis is a leading figure in interventional oncology and minimally invasive urologic surgery, whose work bridges the gap between image-guided interventions and robotic precision. His primary research focuses on the integration of advanced imaging, particularly cone-beam CT, with targeted drug delivery and surgical navigation for renal tumors. Nardis’s most notable contribution is the development of a novel technique for transarterial tagging of endophytic renal tumors using indocyanine green (ICG) under cone-beam CT guidance, enabling real-time visualization during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. This approach, detailed in his highly cited 2022 paper, has significantly improved the accuracy of tumor resection while preserving healthy kidney tissue, directly impacting patient outcomes. With over 7 citations for this seminal work, Nardis’s research is gaining rapid recognition for its translational value. His achievements include pioneering the use of intraoperative fluorescence imaging to enhance surgical precision, a method now adopted in leading urologic centers. For students and researchers, Nardis exemplifies how merging interventional radiology with robotic surgery can solve complex clinical challenges, making him a key innovator in the field of targeted cancer therapy.
