About
Dr. Tiffany Barrett is a leading clinician-researcher in head and neck oncology, with a specialized focus on swallowing physiology and functional outcomes following transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Her major contributions center on objectively characterizing acute postoperative swallow function to identify clinical variables that predict recovery and guide rehabilitation. In her landmark 2021 study, Barrett and her team conducted a retrospective cohort analysis to evaluate physiologic swallow components just three weeks post-TORS, filling a critical gap in the literature where objective data were previously limited. This work has garnered 20 citations and has directly influenced postoperative care protocols, helping clinicians anticipate which patients may require early intervention. Barrett’s research bridges surgical oncology and speech-language pathology, providing evidence-based benchmarks for swallowing recovery. Her ongoing work continues to refine patient selection and perioperative management, making her a key voice in optimizing quality of life for survivors of HPV-related head and neck cancers.
