This experience in Surgical Oncology is centered mainly in colorectal cancer, soft tissue sarcomas, gynecologic tumors, breast cancer and skin cancer.
I was pioneer in introducing in Brazil, on March 2001, the cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to treat peritoneal carcinomatosis. I introduced in this country, at the A.C.

I was assistant physician of Prof. Fernando Gentil, at the A.C. Camargo Cancer Canter and in his private clinic for 13 years, until 1989 when he died.
Gentil introduced in early seventies, a conservative surgery for breast cancer, when almost all were in favor of radical mastectomy. I actively participated performing the majority of these surgical procedures. When Prof. Fernando Gentil died, he had around 400 cases of conservative surgery performed with oncological , aesthetic and functional gratifying results. Gentil concluded his fellowship in surgical oncology at Memorial Hospital and he continued as assistant physician for two years.
To work with Gentil was a great opportunity to learn surgical oncology for me, mainly in colorectal cancer, breast cancer, gynecological tumors, soft tissue sarcomas, skin cancer, melanoma and non melanoma and some special surgical procedures in bone tumors.
