Ajay Bakas

Ajay Bakas is a Researcher at Erasmus MC specializing in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery. His work focuses on the intersection of head and neck oncology with geriatric care, particularly examining frailty and health outcomes in cancer patients across age groups.

Dr. Bakas's research interests include:

• Head and Neck Cancer treatment in diverse age populations
• Frailty assessment methodologies for oncology patients
• Geriatric oncology integration
• Quality of life metrics in cancer care
• Comorbidity management strategies
• Hand grip strength as physiological indicator

His publication history shows a clear research trajectory from studying elderly-specific frailty measures (2021) to examining health outcome priorities (2022) and finally expanding to non-geriatric populations (2023). This progression demonstrates his contribution to bridging geriatric assessment tools with standard oncology practice. The research consistently applies multidimensional approaches to identify at-risk patients who may benefit from modified treatment protocols.

Dr. Bakas maintains active collaborations with specialists in geriatrics and oncology, as evidenced by his co-authorship patterns across multiple institutions. His work has accumulated between 9-11 Scopus citations per article, with substantial readership on academic platforms like Mendeley.
