About

Grainne Brady is a leading researcher in head and neck cancer surgery, with a particular focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for recurrent and residual tumors. Her work has fundamentally advanced the understanding of minimally invasive surgical approaches for patients with previously treated cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract. Brady's major contributions include conducting the first systematic review and meta-analysis of TORS for recurrent head and neck cancers (31 citations), demonstrating its viability as a salvage treatment option. She also led the landmark RECUT international cohort study (29 citations), which provided crucial evidence on the oncological effectiveness of TORS in previously irradiated fields. Beyond surgical technique, Brady has been instrumental in highlighting the critical role of speech and language therapists in post-treatment rehabilitation, particularly for dysphagia management. Her work on changing paradigms in recurrent cancer treatment has reshaped clinical approaches to swallowing rehabilitation. With over 97 combined citations across her most influential papers, Brady's research continues to guide clinical decision-making for complex head and neck cancer cases, offering new hope for patients with limited treatment options.
