About
Dr. Baher Elgohari is a radiation oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing treatment outcomes for head and neck cancers, particularly oropharyngeal cancer. His major contributions lie in comparing the functional and oncologic outcomes of surgical versus nonsurgical therapies, with a special emphasis on swallowing preservation. His highly cited 2019 study in *JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery* (87 citations) provided critical evidence on dysphagia outcomes after primary transoral robotic surgery (TORS) with neck dissection versus nonsurgical therapy for low- to intermediate-risk oropharyngeal cancer. This work helped clarify the trade-offs between treatment modalities, guiding personalized treatment decisions that balance cancer control with quality of life. Dr. Elgohari’s research has been instrumental in advancing the field of head and neck oncology, particularly in understanding how modern surgical techniques compare to radiation-based approaches. His work continues to influence clinical practice and shape the conversation around functional preservation in cancer care.
