About

Rebecca M. Prince is a dedicated clinician-researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes for patients with oropharyngeal cancer (OPC), particularly through the lens of transoral robotic surgery (TORS). Her research centers on evaluating and mitigating treatment-related toxicities, such as dysphagia and xerostomia, which profoundly impact quality of life. In her most-cited study, "Evaluating dysphagia and xerostomia outcomes following transoral robotic surgery for patients with oropharyngeal cancer" (2021, 5 citations), Prince led a cross-sectional survey investigating long-term patient-reported outcomes after definitive surgical management with TORS. This work provides critical insights into the functional recovery of OPC patients, highlighting the importance of patient-centered endpoints in surgical oncology. While her citation count is modest, her contributions are highly relevant to the growing field of minimally invasive head and neck cancer surgery, where preserving swallowing and salivary function is paramount. Prince’s research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and survivorship care, offering evidence to guide treatment decisions and rehabilitation strategies. Her dedication to understanding the lived experiences of cancer patients underscores her commitment to advancing both clinical practice and patient well-being.
