About
Elisabeth Bloemena is a leading researcher in head and neck oncology, with a specialized focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and the management of carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) origin. Her major contributions center on evaluating the role of TORS in diagnosing and treating HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, particularly through tongue base mucosectomy. Her most-cited work, a 2020 systematic review with 39 citations, critically examines whether this procedure has become indispensable for identifying occult primary tumors, providing essential evidence for surgical decision-making. Bloemena’s research has significantly advanced understanding of how minimally invasive robotic techniques can improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in complex head and neck cancers. Her work is highly impactful among surgeons and oncologists, shaping clinical protocols for CUP management. By synthesizing emerging data on HPV-driven disease, she has helped establish TORS as a cornerstone in modern head and neck surgery, earning recognition for her contributions to evidence-based practice and surgical innovation.
