Francesco Massari

Currently responsible for the genitourinary oncology area within the Medical Oncology Department, directed by Prof. Ardizzoni, at the IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna. Clinical and research activities are focused particularly on tumors of the male and female urogenital system; research efforts are mainly directed toward studying resistance mechanisms to treatment in prostate and kidney cancers, and evaluating the development of new compounds useful for the treatment of these neoplasms.

My scientific work also involves me personally, primarily as principal investigator, in approximately 20 clinical trials (phase I-II-III studies, as well as prospective, observational, and retrospective studies) and clinical investigations conducted in accordance with good clinical practice guidelines, mainly concerning kidney, prostate, and bladder cancers.

Author of approximately 450 publications in international journals.
