Sergio Pecorelli

Sergio Pecorelli is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at Yale School of Medicine. He holds an MD from the University of Pavia (1969). His research focuses on gynecological cancer staging, particularly through contributions to the FIGO staging systems, and emerging areas like exerkines (exercise-derived biomarkers), vaccine literacy during pandemics, and public health strategies. He collaborates frequently with researchers such as Alessandro Santin and Jaclyn Roman.

Key research interests include endometrial cancer classification, vulvar/vaginal carcinoma treatment outcomes, and the molecular mechanisms of gynecological malignancies. His recent work addresses pandemic-related health behaviors, including vaccine acceptance and literacy in Italy and global contexts.

Notable contributions include co-authoring the 2023 FIGO staging guidelines for endometrial cancer and foundational studies on gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. His interdisciplinary approach bridges clinical oncology with public health, emphasizing translational research.

Publications span over four decades, demonstrating sustained engagement with both traditional gynecological oncology topics and modern challenges like pandemic response. Collaborations with institutions worldwide highlight his role in international medical research networks.
