About

Stefano Ascani is a surgeon-researcher advancing the frontiers of minimally invasive oncology, with a focus on robotic and laparoscopic approaches for urologic and gastrointestinal cancers. His work centers on optimizing surgical techniques for complex malignancies, including metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and gastric cancer. A key contribution is his 2018 case report and literature review on robotic treatment of oligometastatic kidney tumors with synchronous pancreatic metastasis, which has garnered 30 citations and highlights the evolving role of surgery in the immunotherapy era. This study underscores his expertise in managing rare metastatic patterns and refining robotic strategies for challenging cases. Ascani also co-authored an influential 2022 systematic review comparing robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer (23 citations), providing updated evidence on short-term outcomes and surgical efficacy. His research bridges technical innovation and clinical application, offering insights into the benefits of robotic precision in oncologic resections. Through these works, Ascani has contributed to shaping best practices in minimally invasive cancer surgery, demonstrating significant impact in both urologic and gastrointestinal oncology.
