About
Dr. Qiang Chai is a leading figure in head and neck surgical oncology, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive techniques for oral cancer management. His major contribution lies in pioneering endoscopically assisted selective neck dissection, a paradigm-shifting approach that reduces surgical morbidity while maintaining oncologic rigor. His seminal 2014 prospective study, cited over 30 times, demonstrated the feasibility and safety of performing selective neck dissection via a small submandibular incision in patients with early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (cT1–2N0). This work has been instrumental in advancing the field toward less invasive surgical options, offering patients improved cosmetic outcomes and faster recovery without compromising cancer clearance. Dr. Chai’s research addresses a critical gap in balancing radicality with quality of life, making his findings highly influential among surgeons and oncologists. His contributions continue to shape clinical guidelines and inspire further innovation in head and neck cancer surgery, cementing his reputation as a key innovator in the transition toward minimally invasive oncologic care.
