About
Jay F. Piccirillo is a leading otolaryngologist and clinical researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the understanding and management of head and neck cancers, particularly oropharyngeal malignancies. His research centers on patient-reported outcomes, taste dysfunction, and the functional consequences of cancer treatments. A hallmark of his career is the rigorous integration of psychophysical testing into surgical oncology, as exemplified by his landmark study comparing acute taste dysfunction in oropharyngeal cancer patients after transoral robotic surgery (TORS) to healthy controls. This work, published in 2023, demonstrates his commitment to quantifying subtle, often-overlooked side effects that profoundly impact quality of life. With over 200 publications and thousands of citations, Piccirillo has shaped clinical guidelines for head and neck cancer care. He is also renowned for developing the Sinonasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), a globally adopted instrument for chronic rhinosinusitis. A professor at Washington University in St. Louis, his contributions have earned him numerous awards, including the Distinguished Service Award from the American Academy of Otolaryngology.
