About
Amanda I. Gillespie is a leading voice in the field of speech-language pathology, with a focused expertise in head and neck cancer rehabilitation and dysphagia. Her research is centered on understanding and improving postoperative swallowing function, particularly in patients undergoing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancers. Her most cited work, a 2021 study characterizing acute physiologic swallow function following TORS, has garnered 20 citations and provides critical, objective data on early swallowing outcomes. This research identifies key clinical variables that impact recovery, offering a vital framework for clinicians managing post-surgical care. Gillespie’s contributions are instrumental in bridging the gap between surgical oncology and functional rehabilitation, directly influencing patient quality of life. Her work stands out for its rigorous methodology and its practical application in a rapidly evolving treatment landscape, marking her as a key researcher dedicated to optimizing recovery pathways for cancer survivors.
