Overview

Roberta Maestro is affiliated with the Centro di Riferimento Oncologico in Italy and has a considerable publication record in medicine, with a focus on oncology and molecular biology. Their work spans several specialized fields, including molecular biology, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, oncology, cancer research, and rheumatology. The scientist has made notable contributions to the study of sarcoma diagnosis and treatment, cancer genomics and diagnostics, cardiac tumors and thrombi, chromatin remodeling and cancer, genomics and rare diseases, genomics and phylogenetic studies, as well as vascular tumors and angiosarcomas.

Recent research contributions include papers such as:

  • Ultra-rare sarcomas: A consensus paper from the Connective Tissue Oncology Society community of experts on the incidence threshold and the list of entities, 2021, Cancer
  • Toward best practice in cancer mutation detection with whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing, 2021, Nature Biotechnology
  • Diagnosis and management of tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) fusion sarcomas: expert recommendations from the World Sarcoma Network, 2020, Annals of Oncology
  • Establishing community reference samples, data and call sets for benchmarking cancer mutation detection using whole-genome sequencing, 2021, Nature Biotechnology
  • Extraskeletal Myxoid Chondrosarcoma: State of the Art and Current Research on Biology and Clinical Management, 2020, Cancers

The scientist frequently publishes in venues such as Frontiers in Oncology, Cancers, European Journal of Cancer, Nature Biotechnology, and Annals of Oncology.

Collaborative research is evident through frequent coauthorship with researchers like Angelo Paolo Dei Tos, Marta Sbaraglia, Davide Baldazzi, Silvia Stacchiotti, and Daniela Gasparotto, reflecting an interdisciplinary approach in their work.
