He is a member of the Governing Council in Asian Society of Head & Neck Oncology and Malaysia National Coordinator for World Head and Neck Cancer Day on behalf of International Federation of Head and Neck Oncologies. He has published widely in journals and books nationally and internationally on works involving head and neck oncology and other related cancer. His clinical works covers patient management in outpatient clinic, peri-operative decision making with good technical/surgical skills involving patients with head and neck cancer, oral cancer, thyroid cancer, maxillary and mandibular cancer and other general management of cancer as a whole. Abdullah manages the head and neck cancer clinic as well as active involvement in the combined multidisciplinary oncology clinic for management of cancer patients in Hospital USM. Anusha Balasubramanian, an otorhinolaryngologist, graduated with a double gold medal in her postgraduate exams, and subsequently went on to complete her fellowship in Head and Neck Surgery and Oncology with Honours under the IFHNOS programme. She is currently a clinical fellow at The Royal Marsden Hospital London and simultaneously pursuing a degree in Medical Law in London. Having completed fellowship attachments at MSKCC New York and AIMS Kerala India, she realises the gap in knowledge in the common public as well as the medical fraternity with regard to nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a common presentation among the Asian population. Her passion lies in exploring the latest developments in NPC, as well as bridging the gap between patients, treating physicians and researchers. As an editor of this project, she hopes to gather knowledge right from basic sciences to advanced molecular genetics and deliver it in a clear and comprehensive manner for the students, researchers, treating physicians and the general public with an interest in the subject.
