Enver Özer researches surgical treatment of head and neck cancers, with a particular focus on transoral (through-the-mouth) and robotic surgery for HPV-related oropharyngeal (throat) cancer. Much of the recent work centers on a large national clinical trial (ECOG-ACRIN E3311) examining surgery combined with tailored radiation or chemotherapy afterward, as well as reconstructive techniques such as free flap surgery for facial and jaw defects. This research is clinically oriented, aiming to improve cancer control while preserving speech and swallowing function.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, with a peak around 2020, a decline through 2022-2024, and a resurgence in 2025, suggesting variable but ongoing activity rather than steady linear growth.
