About
Amy C. Moreno is a leading clinical researcher in head and neck oncology, with a focused expertise in swallowing function and quality-of-life outcomes for patients with oropharyngeal cancer. Her work centers on optimizing treatment selection and mitigating the devastating side effects of radiotherapy and surgery. Dr. Moreno’s major contributions include validating the critical importance of eating and swallowing exercises during radiotherapy to prevent dysphagia—a finding from her 2022 study (37 citations) that provides actionable guidance for patient care. She has also challenged historical norms around feeding tube use, demonstrating through a 6-year prospective registry (2024, 11 citations) that utilization rates can be safely reduced. Her research further provides decision-support tools for choosing between transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and radiation therapy, directly informing personalized treatment plans to minimize swallowing toxicity. By integrating prospective data with clinical outcomes, Dr. Moreno’s work has a tangible impact on survivorship, helping patients maintain oral intake and avoid long-term functional decline. Her studies are essential reading for clinicians and researchers striving to balance cancer control with preservation of quality of life.
