About
Arturo Chiti is a leading figure in the surgical and radiotherapeutic management of prostate cancer, with a focus on precision medicine and minimally invasive techniques. His major contributions center on optimizing radioguided surgery (RGS) using PSMA-targeted tracers to improve the detection of lymph node invasion during robot-assisted procedures. In his most cited work, a prospective phase II study, he established the optimal target-to-background ratio for identifying positive nodes, a critical step toward standardizing PSMA-RGS and reducing unnecessary extended pelvic dissections. With over 13 citations since 2024, this work is already shaping intraoperative decision-making. Chiti also pioneers ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy, as seen in his PRO-FAST protocol—a single-fraction, urethral-sparing, HDR-like robotic SBRT approach that compresses treatment into one day. This innovation addresses a major patient need for shorter, more convenient therapy without compromising efficacy. His research bridges surgical and radiation oncology, offering integrated, patient-centered solutions. Chiti’s work is widely cited and increasingly adopted, marking him as a key innovator in the next generation of prostate cancer care.
