Cancers of the Upper GI Tract by Dr. Loredana Vecchione, Charité Comprehensive Cancer Center, Germany

Dr Loredana Vecchione was awarded her medical degree in 2004, her degree as specialist in Medical Oncology in 2008 and her Ph.D from the Second University of Naples in 2012. She performed the last two years of her Ph.D program in Leuven, in Professor Tejpar’s group. After achieving the ESMO fellowship for Translational Research in 2012, she joined Professor Bernards’ group at the Netherlands Cancer Institute where she has been focusing on identifying vulnerabilities of BRAF-like CC. She recently joined the group of Prof Keilholz at the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the Charite in Berlin where she is investigating mechanisms of resistance to conventional treatments in BRAF-like CC and the role of certain genes in some of the CRC subtypes. Dr Vecchione is an active member of ESMO. She is involved in the assignment of educational hours (ESMO CME points) to proposed activities.
