About

Chiara Mossinelli is a surgical oncologist specializing in minimally invasive transoral approaches for head and neck cancers, with a particular focus on recurrent oropharyngeal carcinoma and supraglottic laryngeal tumors. Her work centers on advancing salvage transoral robotic surgery (TORS) as a viable treatment option for patients with recurrent disease, demonstrating that this technique can achieve favorable outcomes even in challenging clinical scenarios. In a landmark 2024 study, Mossinelli reported on the efficacy of salvage TORS in recurrent oropharyngeal carcinoma, a contribution that has already garnered 6 citations and established her as a rising authority in robotic head and neck surgery. Additionally, her 2023 investigation into mini-invasive transoral surgery without neck dissection for supraglottic laryngeal cancer provided real-world evidence from a tertiary cancer center, showing that selected patients can avoid the morbidity of traditional neck dissection while maintaining oncologic control. With 5 citations, this work underscores her commitment to de-escalating surgical aggressiveness without compromising survival. Mossinelli’s research is reshaping surgical paradigms, offering patients less invasive options and better quality of life. Her growing citation record reflects the clinical relevance and immediate impact of her findings on head and neck oncology practice.
