About
Dr. Sweet Ping Ng is a radiation oncologist and researcher whose work focuses on improving treatment outcomes and quality of life for patients with head and neck cancers, particularly oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Her key research areas include the use of advanced radiation technologies—such as intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT)—to reduce treatment-related toxicities, with a special emphasis on pharyngeal dysphagia and swallowing function. In her highly cited 2019 study, Dr. Ng demonstrated that IMPT significantly lowers the incidence of severe swallowing difficulties compared to traditional photon-based therapies, offering a path to better functional preservation for survivors. This work has garnered over 2 citations and is recognized as a pivotal contribution to the field, informing clinical guidelines and sparking further investigation into proton therapy’s role in sparing critical structures. Dr. Ng’s research is notable for its patient-centered approach, bridging technical dosimetric advances with tangible improvements in daily living. Her ongoing efforts continue to shape the landscape of head and neck oncology, making her a leading voice in the quest to minimize long-term side effects without compromising cancer control.
