About
Giorgio Brembilla is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing precision surgery for prostate and kidney cancers. His primary research areas include radioguided surgery, intraoperative imaging, and the development of predictive tools to optimize oncologic outcomes. Dr. Brembilla’s most significant contributions involve the application of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radioguided surgery (RGS) to detect lymph node metastases during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. His prospective phase II study, published in 2022 and cited 94 times, demonstrated the feasibility of PSMA-RGS in identifying nodal invasion during extended pelvic lymph node dissection, offering a real-time, targeted approach that could refine surgical staging. He further refined this technique in 2024 by defining the optimal target-to-background ratio for positive node identification, a critical step toward standardizing RGS protocols. Beyond prostate cancer, Brembilla has developed a preoperative risk calculator for predicting successful nephron-sparing surgery in kidney cancer, showcasing his commitment to personalized, function-preserving care. His work bridges surgical innovation and clinical utility, directly impacting how surgeons approach nodal staging and organ preservation.
