About
Mrganke De is a prominent otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon whose research focuses on the diagnosis and management of head and neck cancers, particularly in the challenging context of cancers of unknown primary (CUP). His most influential work, a 2019 systematic review and meta-analysis on transoral tongue base mucosectomy, has garnered 81 citations and fundamentally shaped clinical practice. This landmark study rigorously evaluated the efficacy of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) and transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) for identifying occult primary tumors, demonstrating that these minimally invasive techniques significantly improve diagnostic yield compared to traditional work-ups. By providing robust evidence for the role of transoral surgery in CUP management, De’s contribution has enabled more targeted treatment, reduced unnecessary morbidity, and improved patient outcomes. His work is widely cited by surgeons and oncologists, underscoring its impact on evidence-based decision-making. De’s research continues to advance the frontiers of head and neck oncology, making him a key figure in the evolution of transoral surgical approaches.
