About
Dr. Alex Marcin Mlynarek is a leading head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and improving quality of life for patients with oropharyngeal cancers, particularly those linked to human papillomavirus (HPV). His major contributions center on evaluating the role of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) as a primary treatment modality, aiming to reduce the debilitating long-term toxicities associated with traditional radiation-based therapies. His highly cited 2024 descriptive study on quality of life following neoadjuvant chemotherapy and TORS for HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma provides critical early evidence that this surgical approach can preserve function and well-being. By meticulously documenting patient-reported outcomes, Dr. Mlynarek’s work helps establish TORS as a viable, less toxic alternative in carefully selected cases. With over 1,500 citations across his body of work, his research directly shapes clinical decision-making in head and neck oncology. He is also recognized for his collaborative efforts in refining surgical protocols and advocating for patient-centered endpoints, making him a key voice in the shift toward de-escalation strategies that prioritize both oncologic control and survivorship.
