Research: Characterization and prognostic role of the tumor microenvironment in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms

Medical Doctor (MD) Specialist in Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases PhD Candidate in Endocrinological Sciences PROFESSIONAL SKILLS - Clinical Areas of Expertise Thyroid and parathyroid disorders, vitamin D deficiency and calcium metabolism disorders, osteoporosis, metabolic diseases, pituitary and adrenal disorders, gynecological endocrinology and andrology, neuroendocrine neoplasms, growth and pubertal development disorders, endocrine complications of oncological therapies - Diagnostic Procedures Thyroid and parathyroid color Doppler ultrasonography, neck ultrasound in the follow-up of thyroid cancer, thyroid fine-needle aspiration RESEARCH PROJECT Primarily focused on neuroendocrinology, endocrine oncology and thyroid diseases. Specifically, the PhD project aims to characterize the tumor microenvironment in neuroendocrine tumors through morphological and immunohistochemical analysis of histological samples and clinicopathological data, as well as molecular analyses using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). The goal is to identify novel diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers, as well as potential therapeutic targets, in order to improve patient stratification and support personalized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
