About

Juan P. Rodrigo is a leading head and neck surgeon whose research has reshaped the management of complex malignancies, particularly in the HPV era. His landmark work on metastatic squamous cell carcinoma to cervical lymph nodes from an unknown primary (NCUP) has become a cornerstone for clinicians, guiding treatment decisions with over 42 citations. Rodrigo has also documented the shifting landscape of head and neck surgery, demonstrating through his highly cited 2013 study that open surgical approaches are not in decline but remain vital for select cases. His comprehensive reviews on minimally invasive techniques have outlined current indications and future directions, while his investigation into salvage surgery for recurrent laryngeal cancer after chemoradiotherapy has identified critical prognostic factors, improving outcomes for patients with limited options. With a career spanning benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors to the most aggressive cancers, Rodrigo’s work bridges traditional open surgery and modern minimally invasive methods. His contributions have earned him recognition as a key figure in head and neck oncology, influencing both clinical practice and surgical training worldwide.
