About
Lorry Duchoud is a health economics researcher whose work focuses on the economic evaluation of minimally invasive surgical techniques for head and neck cancers, particularly oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Duchoud’s major contributions center on comparing the cost-utility of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) versus transoral laser microsurgery (TLM), providing critical evidence for healthcare decision-making. Their most cited paper (23 citations) presents a cost-utility analysis of these two techniques, highlighting the trade-offs in quality of life, treatment-related toxicities, and economic efficiency. Duchoud also developed a customizable economic model (2019) that allows for population-specific evaluations, enhancing the generalizability of their findings. Additionally, their work assessing health-related utility coefficients after transoral surgery (4 citations) provides foundational data for future economic analyses. By integrating clinical outcomes with economic modeling, Duchoud’s research helps clinicians and policymakers choose cost-effective surgical strategies that improve patient quality of life while managing healthcare resources. Their contributions are particularly valuable as head and neck cancer treatment shifts toward less invasive approaches, and their customizable model offers a practical tool for diverse healthcare settings.
