About
Nadine Di Donato is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology, with her research primarily centered on the surgical management of endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer. Her most cited work, "Controversies in Surgical Staging of Endometrial Cancer" (2010, 42 citations), critically examines the paradigm shift from clinical to surgical staging mandated by FIGO in 1998, highlighting the ongoing debate over the necessity and extent of pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy. This contribution has helped shape modern treatment protocols by clarifying the risks and benefits of aggressive staging. Beyond this, Di Donato has made significant strides in understanding ovarian cancer recurrence and the role of secondary cytoreductive surgery, as well as exploring fertility-sparing options for young patients. Her cumulative work, with over 1,500 citations, reflects a deep impact on clinical practice, guiding surgeons in balancing oncologic rigor with quality of life. Notably, she has also contributed to international consensus guidelines, cementing her reputation as a clinician-scientist who translates complex surgical controversies into actionable, evidence-based care.
