Evan Graboyes, M.D.

I am a Professor in the Departments of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery and Public Health Sciences at the Medical University of South Carolina, where I serve as the Medical Director of the Survivorship Program and Director of Survivorship and Cancer Outcomes Research (SCOR) at the NCI-designated Hollings Cancer Center. As a fellowship-trained head and neck surgical oncologist and microvascular reconstructive surgeon, I focus on the removal and reconstruction of benign and malignant head and neck tumors, and I am certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.My clinical practice as a head and neck surgical oncologist informs and grounds my research program, which leverages my scientific training in supportive oncology, health behavior, and health services research to understand and address issues in cancer survivorship. Supported by more than $15 million in NCI funding, I've been the Principal Investigator on six NCI-funded trials evaluating cancer care delivery and supportive care interventions among cancer survivors. I have published more than 160 articles related to head and neck cancer, cancer survivorship, and cancer care delivery in leading clinical oncology journals.At a national level, I am at the forefront of conversations shaping cancer care delivery and cancer survivorship through my work at NRG Oncology/NCORP (Vice Chair, Healthcare Access Research Committee), the American Society of Clinical Oncology (Chair-Elect, Health Policy Committee), the National Cancer Institute (Member Social Determinants of Health Working Group), and the American Head and Neck Society (Chair, Value & Quality of Care Committee; Liaison, Commission on Cancer). I also serve as the Deputy Editor of JAMA-Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery.I was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and raised in Wisconsin and I graduated *summa cum laude* from Princeton University with degrees in philosophy and public policy. I received my medical degree and completed my otolaryngology residency at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. I completed my head and neck oncologic and reconstructive surgery fellowship at the Medical University of South Carolina, where I also received my Master of Public Health in Health Behavior and Health Promotion. I enjoy being outdoors in the Charleston area with my wife and three children.
