Research summary

Dukagjin Blakaj's research focuses on radiation oncology, particularly the treatment of head and neck cancers including HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer. Recent work centers on large clinical trials examining chemotherapy combinations (cisplatin vs. cetuximab) used alongside radiation therapy, patient quality of life outcomes, and genetic markers (such as the KRAS-variant) that may predict treatment response. This work is largely conducted through multi-institutional cooperative group trials (NRG/RTOG) rather than single-lab studies.
