About
Brian Boyce is a leading head and neck surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the use of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal cancer and parapharyngeal space tumors. His work centers on optimizing surgical techniques, refining patient selection, and improving functional outcomes in HPV/p16-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Boyce’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of TORS for parapharyngeal space tumors (77 citations), establishing evidence-based criteria for patient selection in oropharyngeal cancer (71 citations), and showing that omission of intentional primary site radiation after TORS yields no local-regional failures—a finding with significant de-escalation implications. He has also pioneered the use of narrowband imaging for unknown primary cancers and characterized postoperative swallow function following robotic surgery. With over 240 cumulative citations, Boyce’s research has helped shift treatment paradigms away from morbid open procedures and radiation toward minimally invasive approaches that preserve quality of life. His work on margin assessment and adjuvant treatment strategies continues to shape clinical guidelines for HPV-mediated disease.
