About
Marianne Doazan is a leading French otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on minimally invasive surgical approaches for laryngeal and pharyngeal cancers, particularly through transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Her major contributions center on demonstrating the oncologic safety and functional benefits of TORS for supraglottic squamous cell carcinomas, as evidenced by her highly cited 2018 study from the French Robotic Surgery Group of GETTEC. This multicenter observational work, which has garnered 48 citations, systematically evaluated outcomes after TORS supraglottic laryngectomy, providing critical evidence that robotic surgery can achieve effective tumor control while preserving laryngeal function. Beyond this landmark paper, Doazan has advanced the field by investigating patient selection criteria, surgical techniques, and postoperative quality of life measures. Her work has helped establish TORS as a viable alternative to open surgery and chemoradiation for select patients, reducing hospital stays and improving recovery. As a key member of the GETTEC collaborative network, she has shaped national treatment guidelines and trained a generation of surgeons in robotic techniques, making her a pivotal figure in modern head and neck oncology.
