Stephen P Becker

Stephen P Becker, MD is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, maintaining clinical practice at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. His faculty profile indicates active institutional affiliation with disclosure requirements fulfilled through 2024.

His academic credentials include:

• MD from University of Illinois, Chicago (1968)
• Internship at Cook County Hospital, Chicago (1968)
• Otolaryngology Residency at Northwestern University's McGaw Medical Center (1974)
• Specialized Fellowship at Northwestern University's McGaw Medical Center (1975)
• Certification by the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery

Dr. Becker's research demonstrates dual expertise in surgical anatomy and molecular oncology. His anatomical studies provide foundational knowledge for endoscopic sinus procedures, emphasizing precise spatial relationships critical for surgical safety. Concurrently, his cancer research investigates protein kinase p68 as a potential biomarker for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma progression and differentiation, bridging basic science with clinical oncology.

Publication analysis reveals consistent thematic focus across his 1990s work: anatomical precision for endoscopic sinus surgery and molecular characterization of head and neck cancers. The anatomical series established critical surgical landmarks, while the oncology papers explored p68's role in tumor biology, suggesting diagnostic and prognostic applications that remain relevant to contemporary head and neck cancer research.
