About
Dr. Sebastiano Calpona is a leading head and neck surgical oncologist whose work centers on the transformative role of trans-oral robotic surgery (TORS) in treating oropharyngeal cancers. His major contributions have reshaped the management of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCC) and head-neck unknown primary cancers. In a landmark 2020 study (35 citations), he provided a 10-year institutional comparison of TORS versus definitive chemoradiotherapy, offering critical long-term evidence for treatment selection. His 2019 meta-analysis (32 citations) established TORS as a powerful tool for detecting primary tumor sites in patients with unknown primary cancers—a notoriously challenging clinical scenario. Additionally, his 9-year institutional experience (27 citations) demonstrated excellent surgical and oncologic outcomes for OPSCC patients treated with TORS, with or without adjuvant therapy. Collectively, these works have accrued nearly 100 citations, underscoring their influence on clinical practice. Dr. Calpona’s research has been instrumental in advancing minimally invasive surgical approaches, improving both survival and quality of life for patients with head and neck malignancies.
