Acute and late complications of cancer treatment have always been his main research field.  He has coordinated several national and international working groups focusing on late effects of cancer treatment. During his term as chair of the International Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster (I-BFM) Early and Late Toxicity Educational Committee (ELTEC) (2006 - 2013), he coordinated the writing committee of the Erice statement which was adopted as the foundation of the PanCare network. Since 1997 he is member of the steering committee of the Italian off therapy registry (OTR) and since 2019 he is the chairperson of the AIEOP working group on “late effects of anticancer treatments”. Thanks to several EU funded projects he coordinated the development of the Survivorship Passport as an electronic tool to be provided to cancer survivors to summarize their personal cancer history as well to recommend a personalized care plan for follow-up and screening based on internationally approved guidelines.  Together with Dr. Desiree Grabow of the University of Mainz, he is the co-chair of the PanCareSurPass EU project aiming to the implementation of the SurPass platform into the electronic health information systems of 6 European countries by using HL7 standards.
