About

Dr. Zeeshan Butt is a leading researcher in head and neck oncology, with a specialized focus on patient-reported outcomes following surgical interventions for oropharyngeal cancer. His work centers on evaluating the long-term quality-of-life impacts of transoral robotic surgery (TORS), particularly regarding dysphagia (swallowing difficulties) and xerostomia (dry mouth). In his most-cited study, "Evaluating dysphagia and xerostomia outcomes following transoral robotic surgery for patients with oropharyngeal cancer" (2021), Dr. Butt conducted a cross-sectional survey to assess patient-reported outcomes after definitive surgical management. This research provides critical insights into the functional consequences of TORS, helping clinicians better understand and manage post-treatment side effects. With over 5 citations, this work has already influenced discussions on surgical decision-making and survivorship care. Dr. Butt’s contributions are vital for advancing patient-centered care in head and neck cancer, ensuring that treatment efficacy is balanced with quality of life. His research continues to shape protocols for managing oropharyngeal cancer, making him a key voice in the field.
