Background
Biography
Dr. Chandarana completed Medical School and Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery residency training at Western University in London, Ontario. He then pursued a 2-year fellowship in Head and Neck Cancer Surgery and Microvascular Reconstruction at the University of Michigan. Concurrently he also completed a Masters in Public Health. In 2010, Shamir joined the section of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck surgery at the University of Calgary and is a core member of the Head and Neck Surgery Program. He enjoys a busy practice focused on head and neck cancer surgery, thyroid/parathyroid surgery and reconstructive surgery. His research interests include clinical outcomes in head and neck surgery, biomarker research and epidemiology of thyroid cancer surgery.
Research
Areas of Research
- Thyroid Cancer
Dr. Chandarana's current research interests include biomarker expression in lymph node metastasis from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (markers of more aggressive tumors), functional outcomes after major head and neck surgery, clinical care pathway to streamline complex treatment algorithms, and epidemiologic practice patterns in management of thyroid cancer.
