About

Shlomo A. Koyfman is a leading radiation oncologist whose work has significantly advanced the integration of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) with radiation therapy for head and neck cancers. His research focuses on refining multimodal treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes while minimizing toxicity. In his highly cited 2016 paper, "Transoral robotic surgery: The radiation oncologist’s perspective," Koyfman provides a critical framework for combining TORS with adjuvant radiation, addressing key challenges in target volume delineation and dose optimization. This work has shaped clinical protocols and influenced how radiation oncologists collaborate with surgical teams. With over 25 citations, this paper underscores his impact on the field. Koyfman’s contributions extend to clinical trials exploring de-escalation of therapy for HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancer, aiming to reduce long-term side effects without compromising survival. His research is widely recognized for bridging surgical and radiation oncology, offering practical guidance that directly benefits patients and clinicians. Through his innovative approach, Koyfman continues to drive progress in personalized, less toxic cancer care.
