Research Focus
My research focuses on head and neck cancer and in particular on development of novel therapeutic strategies for oral and throat cancer. I focus on harnessing advances in systemic therapies and minimally invasive robotic surgery to develop novel combinations allowing effective cancer control and minimizing chronic therapy-related toxicity. Through adaptive clinical trials starting with systemic therapy, I am investigating a personalized adaptive approach for surgical treatment of oral and throat cancer. I am investigating molecular determinants of cancer response to chemotherapy to help design personalized treatment with a focus on cancer cure while preserving quality of life and functional outcome after cancer treatment.
