About
Frank Hoebers is a leading clinical researcher in the field of head and neck oncology, with a primary focus on oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) and the advancement of shared decision-making in cancer care. His most impactful work centers on the development of a novel, interactive online patient decision aid (PDA) for patients with operable oropharyngeal carcinoma in the Netherlands. This mixed-methods study, published in 2023, addresses a critical gap in clinical practice by providing a structured tool to help patients and physicians navigate the complex choice between transoral robotic surgery and primary radiotherapy. By integrating patient preferences with clinical evidence, Hoebers’ work directly empowers patients to participate actively in their treatment planning, a significant shift toward personalized oncology. While his most cited paper currently holds 2 citations, its recent publication suggests growing recognition of its practical importance. Hoebers’ contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between surgical innovation and patient-centered care, establishing a framework that could be adapted for other cancer types. His research underscores a commitment to improving both treatment outcomes and the patient experience in head and neck cancer.
