About
Cesare Piazza is a leading head and neck surgeon whose work has fundamentally reshaped the management of complex aerodigestive tract and skull base malignancies. His primary research focuses on advanced surgical techniques for laryngeal and pharyngeal cancers, the evolving landscape of neck cancer of unknown primary (NCUP), and the integration of cutting-edge technology into minimally invasive surgery. Piazza’s most impactful contribution is his landmark 2020 study on NCUP management in the HPV era (42 citations), which provided a critical framework for de-escalating treatment and improving outcomes for this challenging patient population. He has also made significant strides in salvage surgery, demonstrating in a 2021 study (22 citations) that aggressive re-resection after chemoradiotherapy can achieve durable oncologic control. A pioneer in surgical innovation, Piazza has explored hybrid robotics for endoscopic transnasal skull base surgery (2021, 10 citations) and championed the transmanubrial osteomuscular-sparing approach (TOSA) as a valuable adjunct for accessing the thoracic inlet. His recent work on exoscopic transoral supraglottic laryngectomy (2024) showcases his commitment to refining minimally invasive techniques that preserve laryngeal function. Through these contributions, Piazza has established himself as a transformative figure in head and neck surgical oncology.
