About

Annick Castiaux is a distinguished researcher in head and neck surgical oncology, with a primary focus on laryngology and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Her work has significantly advanced the comparative evaluation of surgical approaches for laryngeal cancer, particularly through her landmark 2014 study comparing costs and outcomes of open surgery, transoral laser microsurgery (TLM), and transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for partial and total laryngectomies—a paper that has garnered 75 citations and remains a key reference in surgical decision-making. Castiaux’s contributions lie in providing evidence-based insights that help surgeons and healthcare systems balance oncologic efficacy, functional preservation, and economic efficiency. Her research underscores the growing role of robotic and laser technologies in reducing morbidity while maintaining oncologic safety. Beyond this seminal work, she has explored patient-reported outcomes and quality-of-life measures, further cementing her impact on personalized surgical care. Castiaux’s scholarship continues to shape clinical guidelines and training in head and neck surgery, making her a vital voice in the evolution of laryngeal cancer treatment.
