Research
Antonios conducts clinical research with different methods depending on the research question to be answered: epidemiological studies, observational studies, interventional studies and meta-analyses.
Ongoing research projects:
- Pharmacoepidemiological studies regarding potential interaction between cancer and non-cancer medication in breast cancer and risk for late toxicities after oncological treatment.
- Insights on the prognosis and molecular characterization of metaplastic breast cancer.
- Artificial intelligence Supporting CAncer Patients across Europé – the ASCAPE project (Funded by: H2020-SC1-DTH-2019 / Big data and Artificial Intelligence for monitoring health status and quality of life after the cancer treatment).
- Predictive factors during treatment with immunotherapy in patients with metastatic melanoma.
- Optimizing the neoadjuvant treatment strategies in breast cancer patients
- Immunotherapy in clinical practice
