Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery

Melanoma, Surgery, Cutaneous melanoma, Lymph node and Cancer are his primary areas of study. His studies in Melanoma integrate themes in fields like Survival rate, Internal medicine, Proportional hazards model, Stage and Radiology. The Prospective cohort study, Randomized controlled trial and Dissection research he does as part of his general Surgery study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Trunk, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Charles M. Balch interconnects Survival analysis and Pathology in the investigation of issues within Cutaneous melanoma. Charles M. Balch combines subjects such as Bile duct, Mucosal melanoma and Sentinel node with his study of Pathology. His Cancer study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Retrospective cohort study and Oncology.

His most cited work include:

  • Ajcc Cancer Staging Manual (11470 citations)
  • Final Version of 2009 AJCC Melanoma Staging and Classification (3479 citations)
  • Final Version of the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging System for Cutaneous Melanoma (2311 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Charles M. Balch spends much of his time researching Melanoma, Surgery, Internal medicine, Cancer and Oncology. His Melanoma research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stage, Sentinel lymph node and Lymph node, Pathology. Sentinel node is closely connected to Biopsy in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Sentinel lymph node.

His Lymph node study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Radiology and Dissection. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Clinical trial and Disease. His study looks at the relationship between Cancer and topics such as Surgical oncology, which overlap with Annals and MEDLINE.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Melanoma (34.26%)
  • Surgery (28.68%)
  • Internal medicine (21.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Surgical oncology (17.01%)
  • Internal medicine (21.83%)
  • Melanoma (34.26%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Surgical oncology, Internal medicine, Melanoma, Oncology and General surgery. His Surgical oncology research incorporates themes from Annals, Cancer, MEDLINE and Head and neck. His work carried out in the field of Melanoma brings together such families of science as Sentinel lymph node, Metastasis, Radiology, Dissection and Stage.

In his research, Lymph node is intimately related to Sentinel node, which falls under the overarching field of Sentinel lymph node. His Oncology study incorporates themes from Surgeon scientist, Breast cancer and Outcomes research. Charles M. Balch works mostly in the field of Global health, limiting it down to topics relating to Institution and, in certain cases, Surgery, as a part of the same area of interest.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Ajcc Cancer Staging Manual (11470 citations)
  • Melanoma staging: Evidence-based changes in the American Joint Committee on Cancer eighth edition cancer staging manual. (793 citations)
  • Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy and Management of Regional Lymph Nodes in Melanoma: American Society of Clinical Oncology and Society of Surgical Oncology Clinical Practice Guideline Update (85 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery

Charles M. Balch mainly focuses on Surgical oncology, MEDLINE, Cancer, Lymph node and Internal medicine. His research investigates the connection with Surgical oncology and areas like General surgery which intersect with concerns in Annals and Randomized controlled trial. Charles M. Balch works mostly in the field of Lymph node, limiting it down to concerns involving Sentinel node and, occasionally, Melanoma and Breslow Thickness.

His work in Melanoma addresses subjects such as Radiology, which are connected to disciplines such as Occult, Cancer staging, Surgery and Metastasis. His Internal medicine research includes themes of Gene and Oncology. His work in Oncology addresses issues such as Adenocarcinoma, which are connected to fields such as Mucosal melanoma.
