About
Dr. Marie Barbesier is a leading surgical oncologist specializing in head and neck cancers, with a focused expertise in transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Her landmark 2024 study on TORS for HPV-negative OPSCC, with 4 citations, provides critical long-term follow-up data on oncological and functional outcomes for this understudied patient population. This work addresses a significant gap in the literature, as most TORS research has centered on HPV-positive disease. Dr. Barbesier’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the efficacy and safety of robotic surgery for high-risk, HPV-negative patients, offering evidence for expanded surgical indications. Her retrospective monocentric analysis of 37 patients establishes prognostic factors that guide clinical decision-making. By rigorously tracking both cancer control and quality-of-life measures, she has advanced personalized surgical approaches for aggressive oropharyngeal tumors. Her research is essential reading for surgeons and oncologists seeking to optimize treatment for this challenging patient group, and her work continues to shape protocols for robotic-assisted head and neck cancer care.
