Research interests

My research interests focus on gynecologic oncology and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. I am a gynecologic oncologist accredited by the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology and actively participate in international networks such as ESGO and IGCS, promoting research and education. I develop research lines in sentinel lymph node detection using indocyanine green, evaluating its applicability, diagnostic accuracy, and oncologic outcomes across different surgical approaches. I am particularly interested in pelvic surgical anatomy and its impact on the safety and radicality of laparoscopic surgery. I participate in international multicenter studies, including the Pre-ANVU study (University of Queensland) and collaborations with MD Anderson, aimed at optimizing staging and treatment. At the national level, I am involved in projects on liquid biopsy in ovarian cancer and the study of amyloid in endometrial cancer. Additionally, I develop surgical education programs and continuing medical education initiatives.
