Research and Clinical Interests

Dr. Greco's longstanding interest is in the development and pathology of the lungs. She has done studies on Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation of the Lung, providing new insights on the pathogenesis of the anomaly and simplifying its classification. She is investigating the association of this entity with lung carcinoma. Dr. Greco is also interested in searching for prognostic markers in pediatric tumors and has done studies in Giant Cell Tumor of Bone, Osteosarcoma and synovial sarcoma.
