About
Luigi Gianolli is a leading figure in the surgical management of prostate cancer, with a primary focus on advancing precision oncology through radioguided surgery. His most impactful work centers on the intraoperative detection of lymph node metastases using Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) technology. In a landmark prospective Phase 2 study, Gianolli demonstrated the feasibility and accuracy of PSMA radioguided surgery (RGS) during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymph node dissection. This work, cited nearly 100 times, provides compelling evidence that RGS can identify cancerous nodes that might otherwise be missed, potentially improving staging accuracy and guiding adjuvant therapy decisions. By integrating molecular imaging directly into the surgical field, Gianolli is helping to bridge the gap between diagnostic imaging and therapeutic intervention. His research represents a significant step toward more personalized, targeted treatment for primary prostate cancer patients, offering the promise of reducing unnecessary morbidity while ensuring complete oncologic resection.
