About
Stefano Passani is a leading thoracic surgeon whose research centers on the surgical management of thymic tumors, with a particular focus on leveraging large-scale, collaborative databases to improve patient outcomes. His major contribution lies in the development and analysis of the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) prospective thymic database, a powerful resource that enables global, multi-institutional research. In his highly cited 2019 report (37 citations), Passani analyzed data from 1,122 patients across 75 institutions, comparing prospective findings with the earlier retrospective ESTS database (1990–2010). This work established a standardized framework for studying thymic malignancies, facilitating more robust, evidence-based surgical guidelines. By championing this collaborative effort, Passani has helped unify the thoracic surgery community, driving forward the understanding of tumor staging, surgical approaches, and long-term survival. His dedication to data-driven, international cooperation marks him as a key figure in advancing the care of patients with thymic neoplasms.
