Her research interest focuses on the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in head and neck squamous cell cancer. She has demonstrated that the presence of HPV confers a prognostic advantage to individuals with oropharyngeal cancer and that HPV is associated with unique clinical characteristics. In addition to the clinical implications of HPV in head and neck cancer, she is co-principal investigator of a large study to understand screening individuals at “high risk” of malignancy and evaluating imaging modalities to improve diagnostics and early detection of HPV- related head and neck cancer. Dr. Fakhry is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). Her top areas of expertise are Human Papillomavirus Infection, Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC), Tongue Cancer, Laryngectomy, and Gastrostomy.
