Matthew Old's research focuses on head and neck cancer, particularly surgical oncology and how immunotherapy given before surgery affects patient outcomes. Recent work examines biomarkers like cell-free DNA fragment patterns to predict which patients respond to immunotherapy, and studies how the timing of surgery relative to immunotherapy treatment influences pathological treatment response. This work combines clinical surgical practice with translational research into cancer immunology and reconstructive techniques.
