About
Dr. Antoine Eskander is a leading head and neck surgical oncologist whose research centers on improving outcomes for patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), particularly through the lens of surgical quality and functional preservation. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of perioperative risk and long-term quality of life following transoral robotic surgery (TORS). A key contribution is his investigation into predictors of gastrostomy tube dependence, a critical measure of swallowing function, identifying factors that allow surgeons to better counsel patients and tailor rehabilitation. His landmark study on perioperative mortality risk using the National Cancer Database (cited 10 times) provided essential, population-level safety data for TORS, demonstrating its low mortality rate and helping to solidify its role as a standard of care. With over 17 citations for his work on functional outcomes, Dr. Eskander’s research bridges the gap between oncologic efficacy and patient-centered recovery, directly influencing clinical guidelines and surgical decision-making for complex head and neck cancers.
