About
Dr. C. Vanclooster is a leading Belgian head and neck surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Her research focuses on optimizing both functional and oncologic outcomes for patients with head and neck cancer, particularly through minimally invasive techniques. Her most cited study, a multicenter retrospective case series of 86 patients, demonstrated the safety and efficacy of both primary and salvage TORS procedures across three Belgian institutions. This work, which has garnered 38 citations, provided critical evidence that TORS can achieve favorable results even in complex salvage settings, helping to establish the procedure as a viable alternative to traditional open surgery. Dr. Vanclooster’s contributions have been instrumental in refining patient selection and surgical protocols for robotic head and neck surgery, directly impacting clinical practice in Belgium and beyond. Her collaborative, multi-institutional approach underscores her commitment to generating robust, real-world evidence that improves the quality of life and survival for cancer patients.
