Diego Palumbo

Diego Palumbo is a Fixed-term Researcher at Vita-Salute San Raffaele University's School of Medicine, specializing in Diagnostic Imaging and Radiotherapy (MEDS-22/A) with clinical affiliation at San Raffaele Hospital (HSR) in Milan. His position is housed within the university's medical research framework while maintaining direct hospital integration for translational work in gastrointestinal oncology.

His research centers on advanced imaging applications for cancer management, particularly pancreatic and hepatobiliary malignancies. Key focus areas include refining surgical resectability criteria using biological markers, developing predictive models for treatment response through MRI radiomics, and optimizing interventional radiology techniques like EUS-guided drainage and radioembolization. His work bridges diagnostic imaging with therapeutic decision-making across the oncology spectrum.

Analysis of his 2024-2025 publications reveals dominant themes in pancreatic cancer (60% of recent output), with significant emphasis on resectability definitions, recurrence patterns, and fluid collection management. Secondary research streams address hepatocellular carcinoma imaging validation, esophageal cancer response prediction, and colorectal metastasis ablation techniques, consistently leveraging multimodal imaging to improve clinical outcomes.
