معرفی
Dr. BÜŞRA YILMAZ serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Oral, Dental and Maxillofacial Radiology at Istinye University Faculty of Dentistry. Her academic career focuses on the intersection of dental radiology and head and neck oncology, with particular expertise in radiation therapy complications.
Dr. Yilmaz's research primarily investigates osteoradionecrosis and radiation-induced trismus in head and neck cancer patients. She has pioneered work on predictive biomarkers including masseter muscle volume, hemoglobin-to-platelet ratio, and pan-immune-inflammation value to identify patients at risk for these debilitating complications. Her research spans both clinical investigation and systematic reviews of existing literature.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on predictive modeling for radiation complications, with significant emphasis on nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Her work consistently bridges the gap between dental considerations and oncological treatment planning, addressing critical quality of life issues for cancer survivors.
Dr. Yilmaz's scientific recognition includes the prestigious WINNING PRESENTATION AWARD from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Oral Oncology Symposium in 2022, highlighting the significance of her contributions to the field.
Her research program demonstrates strong collaborative networks with radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and other dental specialists. Through her extensive publication record and clinical insights, Dr. Yilmaz has established herself as a leading researcher in dental complications following head and neck radiation therapy.
