CARCANO GIULIO

Prof. Giulio Carcano is Full Professor of General Surgery at the University of Insubria, with extensive clinical and academic expertise in oncologic surgery, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery, transplantation, and minimally invasive techniques. His research activity focuses on technological innovation in surgery, with particular emphasis on the development and optimization of advanced techniques for the treatment of neoplastic diseases and the improvement of outcomes in complex patients. His scientific work addresses the key pathophysiological and clinical mechanisms involved in disease progression and organ injury, with a specific focus on ischemia–reperfusion injury in kidney transplantation, strategies for the use of marginal donors, and the implementation of advanced intraoperative technologies, including imaging systems and decision-support tools. Current research interests are centered on multidisciplinary and translational approaches, integrating surgery, molecular biology, and innovative technologies to enhance treatment personalization and therapeutic effectiveness, particularly in liver and pancreatic surgery, oncologic surgery, and transplantation medicine. He is the author of more than 280 peer-reviewed international publications, as well as books and book chapters, and actively participates in national and multicenter research projects. He collaborates with national and international research groups and is regularly involved in scientific and congress activities as an invited speaker. His profile is characterized by a strong integration of clinical practice, translational research, and technological innovation, with the aim of contributing to the development of increasingly effective, safe, and personalized surgical models.
