About
Dr. Mary Scanlon is a leading expert in the intersection of head and neck cancer surgery and advanced radiologic imaging. Her work focuses on how cutting-edge surgical techniques, particularly transoral robotic surgery (TORS), transform both oncologic outcomes and patient quality of life. Her most cited paper, "Transoral Robotic Surgery in Head and Neck Cancer: What Radiologists Need to Know about the Cutting Edge" (2013, 43 citations), is a seminal work that bridges the gap between surgeons and radiologists. In it, she details how TORS reduces patient morbidity and mortality while preserving critical functions like swallowing and speech—a paradigm shift from traditional open surgery. By educating radiologists on the nuances of robotic resection, Dr. Scanlon has improved preoperative planning and postoperative assessment, directly impacting patient care. Her research underscores a commitment to minimally invasive approaches that prioritize both cure and quality of life, making her a pivotal figure in modern oncologic surgery.
