About
Vasu Divi is a leading head and neck surgeon whose work has advanced the diagnosis and management of complex aerodigestive tract malignancies. His research centers on transoral robotic surgery (TORS), human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal cancer, and innovative approaches to the unknown primary tumor—a challenging clinical scenario where cancer presents as a neck metastasis without an obvious source. Divi’s seminal 2011 paper introduced a novel paradigm using transoral robotic biopsy of the tongue base to identify occult primary tumors, a technique that has since been widely adopted and cited over 50 times for its transformative impact on diagnostic accuracy. Beyond this landmark contribution, his broader body of work has shaped surgical de-escalation strategies and quality-of-life outcomes in head and neck cancer care. With a career spanning high-impact clinical research and surgical innovation, Divi has helped redefine standards for minimally invasive tumor localization and treatment. His contributions continue to guide surgeons and oncologists in delivering more precise, less morbid care to patients with head and neck malignancies.
