Research group for Head and Neck Cancer Surgery
This research group is dedicated to the research of modern multidisciplinary treatment modalities for head and neck tumors. Prof. Presutti has solid experience in this field, having performed more than 15,000 cancer surgeries. The collaboration between surgeons, oncologists, radiotherapists, radiologists, and rehabilitation and palliative care teams adds further value to the group's multidisciplinary research activity. The efforts of our team are aimed at developing personalized treatments for the patient and applying minimally invasive surgical approaches and modern treatment methods, while seeking inclusion in experimental protocols.
