About
Jens Bentzen is a leading Danish head and neck surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the surgical management of oropharyngeal cancer, with a particular focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS). His major contribution lies in pioneering the implementation of TORS in Denmark, demonstrating its feasibility and oncologic safety through rigorous clinical trials. His most cited work, a phase II trial published in 2017, established that primary TORS with concurrent neck dissection can achieve clear tumor margins for early-stage oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, directly influencing surgical protocols in Scandinavian head and neck cancer centers. With over 38 citations, this study remains a cornerstone for surgeons adopting robotic approaches. Bentzen’s research bridges surgical innovation with patient outcomes, advancing minimally invasive techniques that reduce morbidity without compromising oncologic control. His work has been instrumental in integrating TORS into standard care pathways, and he continues to shape the field through ongoing investigations into functional outcomes and long-term survival.
