About
Antony Pellegrino is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive cancer surgery. His primary research focuses on the application of single-port (SP) robotic platforms and radioguided surgical techniques for prostate and bladder cancers. Pellegrino has been instrumental in advancing PSMA-targeted radioguided surgery (RGS), demonstrating in a prospective Phase 2 study (94 citations) that this approach can reliably detect nodal metastases during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, potentially sparing patients the morbidity of extended lymph node dissections. He has also been a leading voice in the adoption of single-port robotics, authoring high-impact systematic reviews and meta-analyses (40 citations) that clarify learning curves and surgical outcomes. His work on the PURE-01 trial (69 citations) established the surgical safety of radical cystectomy following neoadjuvant pembrolizumab, a critical step in integrating immunotherapy with surgical management of bladder cancer. With over 25 publications in top urology journals, Pellegrino’s contributions are defining the next generation of urologic oncology—making complex procedures safer, more precise, and less invasive.
