About

Dr. Reetesh Ranjan is a leading head and neck surgical oncologist whose pioneering work has reshaped the role of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) in treating head and neck cancers, particularly in the Indian subcontinent. His research focuses on de-intensifying treatment for HPV-negative oropharyngeal and supraglottic carcinomas, demonstrating that TORS can achieve excellent oncological outcomes while reducing the morbidity of traditional chemoradiation. His landmark prospective trial on de-intensification for stage I-II HPV-negative oropharyngeal cancers (35 citations) and subsequent work on stage III-IV disease (27 citations) have been instrumental in establishing TORS as a viable primary treatment modality. Dr. Ranjan has also advanced the field of salvage surgery, proving TORS is both feasible and safe for recurrent or residual disease (29 citations). Beyond the oropharynx, he has expanded robotic applications to include supraglottic laryngectomy, retropharyngeal node dissection, and scarless neck dissection via the modified BABA technique. With over 130 cumulative citations, his work has significantly influenced surgical practice at his tertiary cancer center in New Delhi, offering patients improved functional outcomes and quality of life.
