About
M. Fischetti is a leading researcher in the field of radioguided surgery, with a particular focus on the development of novel detection technologies for prostate cancer. Their major contribution lies in the integration of two cutting-edge concepts: the DROP-IN probe design, which enables flexible, robot-assisted surgical guidance, and the use of beta-emitting PET isotopes (such as 68Ga-PSMA) for highly sensitive tumor detection. Fischetti's pioneering work, notably the first ex vivo technology evaluation of a DROP-IN beta probe using prostate cancer specimens (2020), has been cited over 45 times, underscoring its impact on the field. This innovation addresses a critical need for real-time, precise localization of cancerous tissue during robot-assisted procedures, potentially improving surgical outcomes and reducing recurrence rates. Fischetti's research bridges the gap between nuclear medicine and surgical robotics, offering a promising pathway toward more effective, minimally invasive cancer treatment. Their work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the future of image-guided surgery and theranostics.
