Clinical work at the European Institute of Oncology
Breast surgeon and physician (senologist) concerned with the diagnosis of treatment of benign
and malignant breast diseases. From January 2001 to October 2015 carried out 3,111 surgical
operations on the breast at the European Institute of Oncology.
Research at the European Institute of Oncology
Dr Galimberti is group leader of the project: Understanding How Cancer Stem Cells Drive
Breast Cancer
“Understanding how cancer stem cells drive breast cancer growth and how to exploit them as
its Achilles’ heel”, part of a Special Program in Molecular Clinical Oncology financed by the
Italian Association for Cancer Research (AIRC)
Dr Galimberti’s main area of clinical research is sentinel node biopsy in breast cancer. Her
most recent published study analysed survival in breast cancer patients who received
neoadjuvant treatment (upfront chemotherapy or hormone therapy) followed surgical removal
of their cancer with sentinel node biopsy if the axilla appeared disease-free by palpation and
ultrasound. Women whose sentinel node was disease-free on pathological examination were
spared axillary dissection. The analysis showed that survival was not compromised in these
women. Previously it had been thought that sentinel node biopsy was unsuitable for women
undergoing upfront systemic treatment before surgery.
Dr Galimberti initiated and co-ordinated a landmark randomized clinical trial (International
Breast Cancer Study Group Trial 23-01) on the utility of complete axillary dissection in breast
cancer patients with only micrometastases (tumour foci up to 2 mm in diameter) in the
sentinel node. After five years of follow-up the study showed that axillary dissection was
unnecessary in patients with only micrometastases so they could safely avoid this demanding
surgical procedure. Today, performing sentinel node biopsy in breast cancer patients with only
micrometastases in the sentinel node is consider gross overtreatment.
