About
Dr. Alessandra Gozzo is a surgical oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing outcomes in prostate cancer surgery, particularly through robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Her work has significantly advanced the understanding of risk factors for complications and disease progression in this patient population. Dr. Gozzo’s most impactful study, with 21 citations, demonstrated that obesity is a strong predictor of clinically undetected multiple lymph node metastases in intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer patients, challenging conventional preoperative assessments. She has also published influential analyses on predictors of major surgical complications, including a retrospective evaluation of over 1,000 consecutive patients that identified key factors associated with adverse outcomes after both open and robotic prostatectomies. Her research on severe intraoperative bleeding as a predictor of perioperative blood transfusion, and the role of the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ physical status system in postoperative complications, has provided clinicians with actionable tools for risk stratification. Dr. Gozzo’s work at a tertiary referral high-volume center has established her as a leading voice in refining surgical techniques and improving patient selection, with her studies collectively cited over 60 times, underscoring their impact on urological oncology practice.
