Prof. Vittorio Quagliuolo is leading the team of Oncological Surgery and the Sarcoma Unit in Humanitas Cancer Center. His professional career started at the National Cancer Institute in Milan (under the guidance of prof. Umberto Veronesi) where he worked at the Department of Digestive & Hepatobiliary Surgery and Sarcoma Unit, chaired at that time by his mentor prof. Leandro Gennari, the pioneer of oncological hepatobiliary surgery in Italy, limb sparing surgery in sarcomas, sphincter saving surgery in colorectal cancer and liver transplantation for malgnancy.
Prof. Quagliuolo was one of the founding members of the European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO), of the European School of Oncology (ESO), European Society of Mastology (EUSOMA), and the Italian Sarcoma Group (ISG).
His surgical expertise is particularly founded on the field of soft tissue sarcomas of limbs and retroperitoneum with more than 1000 surgical resections. This activity is featured by the highest level of safety with an overall mortality close to 0%, and by the highest complexity of the patients, who often require a multidisciplinary approach, with the assistance of other experts in the operative theatre (vascular, plastic, orthopaedic, neuro and thoracic surgeons).
The Sarcoma Unit also cooperates with the most prestigious hospitals in Italy and in Europe participating in international clinical trials. The team has great skills in colorectal, endocrinological, upper GI, and peritoneum surgery.

Blaha (U.S.A.), Prof. H. Wagner (Germany), Prof. E. Morscher (Switzerland).
He collaborates with major international schools in the research of new and modern strategies in the field of minimally invasive prosthetics, computer-assisted surgery and conservative surgery. To encourage research in orthopedics is the main scientific goal of the establishment and organization of the "Foundation Livio Sciutto – NPO", an organization of which Prof. Grappiolo is the scientific director. Playing this role, Prof. Grappiolo has been creating and maintaining contacts with other national and international research institutes, which trained thousands of surgeons coming from every country of the world.
The organization has one of the largest hip replacement database of the world: more than 45.000. Dr. Grappiolo is mentored by Dr. Spotorno (a master and pioneer in prosthetic surgery), and their group studied and developed some of the bestselling prosthesis in the world. His research led him to contact the major international schools with which he collaborates in the search for new strategies of improvement in prosthetic minimally invasive and computer-assisted conservative surgery with the development of new prosthetic models and exploration of new materials.
To date, he has attended over 170 meetings, both national and international, almost every time in the role of speaker or chairman. His name appears as author, in more than 60 publications and articles. He has performed more than 2600 prosthetic surgery (hip, knee and ankle).
