About
Manuela Moraru is a leading surgical oncologist whose research centers on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for head and neck cancers, with a particular focus on HPV-negative oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC)—a patient population that remains underexplored in the literature. Her most cited work, a 2024 study, provides critical follow-up on oncological and functional outcomes for 37 patients treated with TORS, demonstrating that this minimally invasive approach can achieve favorable long-term results even in high-risk, HPV-negative cases. By meticulously analyzing prognostic factors and post-surgical quality of life, Moraru has helped refine surgical indications and expand the evidence base for robotic-assisted procedures in challenging oncologic scenarios. Her contributions are especially valuable given the relative scarcity of data on HPV-negative disease, and her findings are already shaping clinical decision-making for surgeons worldwide. With her work accumulating citations and influencing practice patterns, Moraru stands out as a dedicated clinician-researcher advancing the frontiers of head and neck cancer surgery through rigorous, patient-centered investigation.
