Medical Oncology SCE

After completing my medical degree in 2007, I went on to specialise in Medical Oncology from the Università degli Studi dell’Insubria, Italy in 2012.

In addition, I’m involved in teaching activities for palliative care nurses at SUPSO and SSSCI University, Switzerland.

After graduating from Medical School in 2003, I underwent Specialisation Training in Medical Oncology at the University of Florence, and completed my Degree of Specialist Medical Oncologist (Hons) with 70/70 for my thesis ‘Clinicopathological and biomolecular prognostic and predictive factors in gastric adenocarcinoma: a review of the literature’. The following year, I achieved my European Society of Medical Oncology Certificate.

I have successfully passed my MRCP SCE in Medical Oncology and the European ESMO examination in Medical Oncology in 2019. I have a particular interest in clinical trials reinforced by the EORTC MCCR course and am actively involved in publications.

Being an author for StudyPRN allows me to share this passion and continuously develop and keep my knowledge up-to-date in designing high-quality questions that are relevant.

I am President-Elect of the International Society of Geriatric Oncology (SIOG), and have served as Co-Chair and Chair of the Young Interest Group of SIOG. I also serve as Co-Chair of the European Cancer Organisation Inequalities Focused Topic Network. In 2019, I received the Arti Hurria Award at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium for my research on the use of chemotherapy in older patients with early breast cancer.
