About

Lennart Greiff is a leading figure in head and neck oncology, with a specialized focus on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for the management of complex cancers. His research has been instrumental in advancing surgical techniques for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, particularly in cases of unknown primary (HNSCC-CUP). Greiff’s major contributions include pioneering the use of TORS-assisted base of the tongue resection to identify occult primary tumors, a procedure that has significantly improved diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes. His work, such as the 2019 study on TORS in HNSCC-CUP (10 citations), has provided critical insights into the success rates and limitations of this approach, guiding clinical protocols. Additionally, his 2018 overview of TORS in the Nordic countries (9 citations) highlights the regional adoption and standardization of this technology across 21 university hospitals, showcasing its growing role in centralized cancer care. Greiff’s efforts have not only enhanced surgical precision but also fostered collaboration across the Nordic region, making him a key contributor to the evolution of minimally invasive head and neck cancer surgery.
