Raghav C. Dwivedi

About

Raghav C. Dwivedi is a leading head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on minimally invasive surgical techniques and treatment de-intensification for oropharyngeal carcinoma, particularly in human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive patients. His seminal 2016 study comparing minimally invasive surgery to radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy for small-volume oropharyngeal cancer (82 citations) has helped reshape clinical decision-making for this growing patient population. Dwivedi’s 2010 review on robotic surgery in head and neck cancer (53 citations) established foundational knowledge in transoral robotic surgery applications. His influential 2018 work on de-intensified adjuvant therapy following transoral surgery for HPV-positive oropharyngeal carcinoma (48 citations) addresses the critical need to reduce treatment toxicity in younger patients with favorable prognoses. This research directly impacts the global challenge of rising HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer incidence, which now accounts for over 400,000 cases annually. Dwivedi’s contributions have advanced the paradigm toward personalized, less morbid treatment strategies while maintaining excellent oncologic outcomes, making him a key figure in modern head and neck oncology.
