About
Katia Odorizzi is a surgical oncologist whose research focuses on refining the outcomes of radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, particularly through the lens of robotic surgery. Her work centers on identifying preoperative and intraoperative predictors of complications and disease progression. A major contribution is her landmark study demonstrating that obesity is a strong predictor of clinically undetected multiple lymph node metastases in intermediate- and high-risk patients, a finding with 21 citations that has significant implications for surgical planning and nodal dissection strategies. She has also systematically analyzed risk factors for major complications in a large cohort of over 1,000 patients, comparing open and robot-assisted approaches, and specifically identified severe intraoperative bleeding as a key predictor of perioperative blood transfusion. Her research, conducted at a high-volume tertiary referral center, provides actionable insights for surgeons to improve patient selection and perioperative management. Odorizzi’s work is instrumental in advancing the safety and precision of robotic prostate cancer surgery.
