About
Dr. Vianney Bastit is a leading head and neck surgeon whose work is reshaping the management of complex oropharyngeal and unknown primary cancers. Her research focuses on the intersection of advanced surgical techniques—specifically transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and transoral laser microsurgery—with precision radiotherapy planning. Dr. Bastit’s major contributions include demonstrating how modern surgical approaches can reduce the volume of mucosal irradiation in postoperative settings, thereby lowering treatment morbidity. Her landmark 2020 paper, "Dix ans de progrès en chirurgie des tumeurs de la tête et du cou," with 6 citations, established a decade of progress in this field. She is also the principal architect of the RoboCUP trial (2025), a randomized phase 2 protocol that systematically evaluates TORS and laser mucosectomy combined with tonsillectomy for identifying head and neck cancers of unknown primary—a critical step toward more targeted, less toxic radiotherapy. Additionally, her multicenter REFCOR study (2025) on TORS for salivary carcinomas of the tongue base showcases her expertise in rare tumor management. Dr. Bastit’s work is pivotal for clinicians seeking to personalize treatment and improve quality of life for patients with head and neck malignancies.
