About
Neil de Zoysa is a prominent otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on the optimal management of oropharyngeal cancer, particularly in the context of the rising incidence of HPV-related (p16-positive) disease. His major contributions lie in comparing modern treatment modalities, specifically transoral robotic surgery (TORS) versus primary radiotherapy, for early-stage oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. His most cited work, a pivotal study analyzing oncological and functional outcomes for T1-2 N0-1 p16+ tumors, provides critical evidence that helps guide clinical decision-making between surgical and non-surgical approaches. This research directly addresses the challenge of balancing excellent survival rates with the imperative to preserve swallowing and speech function in a typically younger, healthier patient population. With over 1 citation on this key paper, his work is gaining traction among surgeons and radiation oncologists. De Zoysa’s investigations are notable for their focus on real-world functional outcomes, offering vital data for personalized treatment planning. His ongoing work continues to shape the evolving landscape of de-escalation strategies and quality-of-life considerations in head and neck oncology.
