About
Dr. Anupam Rishi is a radiation oncologist whose research focuses on head and neck malignancies, with a particular emphasis on carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) and base-of-tongue (BOT) tumors. His most cited work, a 2016 study with 30 citations, critically compares radiotherapy outcomes for head and neck CUP versus T1 base-of-tongue carcinoma. This research demonstrated that transoral robotic surgery- or laser microsurgery-assisted lingual tonsillectomy can significantly improve the identification rate of occult BOT primaries in CUP patients, directly influencing diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making. By clarifying the distinct characteristics and treatment responses between these two entities, Dr. Rishi has helped refine radiation field design and patient selection. His contributions are particularly valuable for clinicians navigating the diagnostic challenges of head and neck CUP, offering evidence that supports more precise, personalized radiotherapy approaches. Through this work, he has advanced the understanding of how surgical and radiotherapeutic strategies can synergize to improve outcomes in complex head and neck cancer presentations.
