About

Dr. Faisal Alzahrani is a leading head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on improving diagnostic and treatment outcomes for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas, particularly those with carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP). His most cited work, "Transoral robotic surgery for the identification of unknown primary head and neck squamous cell carcinomas: Its effect on the wait and the weight" (2022, 7 citations), investigates the critical trade-off between the enhanced primary tumor detection rates achieved through transoral robotic mucosectomies (TORM) and the potential for treatment delays. By analyzing patient data from 2014 to 2020, Dr. Alzahrani provides essential insights into optimizing surgical protocols to balance diagnostic accuracy with timely care. His contributions have advanced the field of transoral robotic surgery, offering a more precise and less invasive approach to identifying occult primary tumors. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Alzahrani’s work is shaping clinical decision-making for complex head and neck cancer cases, making him a notable figure in oncologic surgery and a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians seeking to refine CUP management.
