Alberto Puccini: Practical Definition of Cure in Patients with Colon Cancer

Alberto Puccini, Medical Oncologist at Humanitas Research Hospital, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, published in JAMA Oncology:

“What started a few years ago as a shared idea with Alessandro Pastorino and Valentino Martelli, under the inspiring guidance of Prof. Alberto Sobrero, has now become a reality.

Our work has just been published in JAMA Oncology

This publication marks an important step forward, made possible thanks to the incredible collaboration with our colleagues from the Mayo Clinic, Qian Shi and her team, and with the invaluable contribution of all the opinion leaders involved in this research journey.

This project is a testament to the power of teamwork, vision, and scientific curiosity — supporting a practical definition of cure in patients with colon cancer.

Recognizing this milestone may improve patient communication, guide follow-up duration, and reduce unnecessary long-term surveillance.”
