About

Dr. Jason Kass is a head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on improving oncologic outcomes and surgical techniques for oropharyngeal and other head and neck cancers. His most impactful work, a multi-institutional study on surgically treated early-stage oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (27 citations), established critical benchmarks for survival and recurrence in T1-T2, N0-N1 disease, demonstrating the efficacy of primary surgery in carefully selected patients. Dr. Kass has also been at the forefront of minimally invasive approaches, pioneering the use of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. His work on TORS for identifying unknown primary head and neck cancers (4 citations) and for resecting advanced-stage T3 tumors (3 citations) showcases his commitment to expanding the boundaries of robotic-assisted surgery, reducing morbidity while maintaining oncologic rigor. Through these contributions, Dr. Kass has helped refine surgical decision-making and advance the role of TORS in complex head and neck oncology.
