About
Dr. Song Fan is a leading oral and maxillofacial surgeon whose research focuses on refining surgical approaches for early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). His primary contributions lie in advancing minimally invasive selective neck dissection techniques, particularly through the development of an endoscopically assisted dissection via a small submandibular approach. This work, detailed in his most cited 2014 prospective study (32 citations), demonstrates how reducing surgical invasiveness can preserve function and aesthetics without compromising oncologic safety in cT1–2N0 patients. Dr. Fan’s 2017 review (13 citations) further synthesizes the latest advancements in this field, establishing him as a key voice in optimizing neck management for early OSCC. His cumulative impact—evidenced by these highly referenced studies—has helped shift clinical practice toward less morbid, yet equally effective, surgical strategies. By championing these patient-centered innovations, Dr. Fan has improved recovery outcomes and quality of life for countless individuals facing oral cancer, solidifying his reputation as a pioneer in head and neck surgical oncology.
