About

Dr. Bevan Yueh is a leading otolaryngologist–head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing treatment outcomes for patients with head and neck cancers, particularly oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). His major contributions include pioneering comparative effectiveness studies that evaluate the trade-offs between surgical and non-surgical therapies. In his highly cited 2016 study (68 citations), Dr. Yueh and colleagues demonstrated that patients with OPSCC treated with transoral robotic surgery (TORS) had comparable survival rates but significantly lower long-term gastrostomy tube dependence compared to those receiving primary chemoradiotherapy. This work has been instrumental in guiding shared decision-making, highlighting that TORS may reduce severe swallowing morbidity without compromising oncologic control. Beyond this landmark paper, Dr. Yueh’s broader research portfolio has shaped clinical guidelines and informed patient counseling on functional outcomes. His work is widely recognized for bridging surgical innovation with rigorous outcomes research, earning him a reputation as a key voice in evidence-based head and neck oncology. With hundreds of citations across his publications, Dr. Yueh continues to influence how multidisciplinary teams weigh survival against quality of life for cancer patients.
