Oreste Davide Gentilini

Oreste Davide Gentilini is an Associate Professor of General Surgery at the School of Medicine, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore. His research focuses on surgical oncology with particular emphasis on breast cancer treatment protocols, axillary lymph node management, and molecular oncology applications. He is actively involved in clinical trials and guideline development for breast cancer therapy optimization.

Teaching includes courses such as 'Clinica Chirurgica', 'Chirurgia e specializzazioni chirurgiche', and 'Evolution of Surgical Oncology: treatment of breast cancer as a model' within the 6-year Medicine and Surgery program. His work bridges surgical innovation with genetic factors (e.g., BRCA carriers) and biomarker analysis in neurodegenerative conditions like ALS.

Recent publications emphasize de-escalation strategies in loco-regional treatments, real-world multigene signature applications, and international variations in axillary dissection practices. He contributes to clinical consensus guidelines through organizations like ANISC, while exploring fertility considerations post-breast cancer in young patients.
