About

Theresa Tran is a leading surgical oncologist specializing in head and neck cancer, with a particular focus on minimally invasive techniques for laryngeal malignancies. Her research centers on advancing transoral robotic surgery (TORS) as a treatment modality, aiming to improve patient outcomes while reducing morbidity. In her most cited work, Tran conducted a pivotal comparative study evaluating TORS against open partial laryngectomy and transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) for early-stage supraglottic larynx carcinoma. This 2023 paper, which has garnered 14 citations, demonstrated that TORS offers comparable oncologic control with potentially superior functional preservation, establishing it as a viable alternative in surgical practice. By systematically analyzing outcomes across these approaches, Tran has provided critical evidence that helps guide clinical decision-making for surgeons and patients alike. Her contributions are shaping the evolution of head and neck cancer surgery, emphasizing the importance of tailored, less invasive treatments. With her work increasingly cited in the field, Theresa Tran is recognized as an emerging authority in robotic-assisted laryngeal surgery, driving innovation that balances curative intent with quality of life.
