About
Jacqueline Lam is a clinician-researcher whose work centers on shared decision-making in head and neck oncology, with a particular focus on oropharyngeal cancer. Her major contribution lies in developing patient-centred decision aids that empower individuals to navigate complex treatment choices, especially in the rapidly evolving transoral robotic surgery (TORS) era. Her most cited work, a 2017 study on an online decision aid for oropharyngeal cancer patients, has garnered 15 citations and addresses a critical gap: helping patients weigh the trade-offs between traditional radiotherapy and emerging surgical options. This tool was designed to clarify patient preferences, reduce decisional conflict, and improve treatment satisfaction. Lam’s research is notable for its translational impact—bridging clinical innovation with real-world patient needs. By integrating patient-reported outcomes and preference-sensitive care into surgical oncology, she has advanced a more humanistic approach to cancer treatment. Her work is especially relevant for students and researchers interested in health services research, patient engagement, and the ethical dimensions of emerging surgical technologies.
