Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine
  • Disease

Ellen T. Chang mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Epidemiology, Cancer, Odds ratio and Immunology. Ellen T. Chang has included themes like Endocrinology, Surgery and Oncology in her Internal medicine study. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mortality rate and Incidence.

Her Cancer study combines topics in areas such as Relative risk and Toxicology. Her Odds ratio research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Lower risk, Quartile, Confidence interval and Case-control study. Her work in Immunology covers topics such as Risk factor which are related to areas like Lymphoma, Family history and Etiology.

Her most cited work include:

  • The enigmatic epidemiology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. (873 citations)
  • Lung Cancer Incidence in Never Smokers (364 citations)
  • A novel 160-kDa phosphotyrosine protein in insulin-treated embryonic kidney cells is a new member of the insulin receptor substrate family. (334 citations)

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

Internal medicine, Epidemiology, Immunology, Odds ratio and Oncology are her primary areas of study. Lymphoma, Cancer, Young adult, Prospective cohort study and Cohort are among the areas of Internal medicine where the researcher is concentrating her efforts. Her studies in Epidemiology integrate themes in fields like Body mass index, Incidence, Environmental exposure, Public health and Etiology.

As part of her studies on Immunology, she frequently links adjacent subjects like Family history. Her Odds ratio research includes themes of Case-control study, Confidence interval, Aspirin, Confounding and Risk factor. Her Oncology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Vitamin D and neurology, Epidemiology of cancer and Proportional hazards model.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (67.24%)

Ellen T. Chang focuses on Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Internal medicine, Case-control study, Odds ratio and Epidemiology. Her work deals with themes such as Gastroenterology and Oncology, which intersect with Internal medicine. In general Oncology, her work in Lung cancer is often linked to Diesel exhaust linking many areas of study.

Her studies deal with areas such as Young adult, Morinda officinalis, Logistic regression and Medical history as well as Case-control study. She interconnects Confidence interval, Codonopsis pilosula, Smilax glabra, Aspirin and Traditional medicine in the investigation of issues within Odds ratio. Her Epidemiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mesothelioma, Environmental health, Race ethnicity, Public health and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Are We Winning or Losing the Battle With Periprosthetic Joint Infection: Trends in Periprosthetic Joint Infection and Mortality Risk for the Medicare Population. (92 citations)

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

  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine
  • Disease

Ellen T. Chang mostly deals with Internal medicine, Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Hazard ratio, Odds ratio and Nasopharyngeal neoplasm. Her work in Internal medicine is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Hepatitis B virus. While the research belongs to areas of Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Ellen T. Chang spends her time largely on the problem of Case-control study, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Virology, Epstein–Barr virus and Virus.

Her Hazard ratio study deals with Proportional hazards model intersecting with Confounding Factors, Relative risk and Risk factor. Her studies deal with areas such as Absolute risk reduction, Confidence interval, Incidence, Cohort study and Family history as well as Odds ratio. Her work is dedicated to discovering how Nasopharyngeal neoplasm, Oncology are connected with Prospective cohort study and other disciplines.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring online options is an increasingly popular route for those interested in healthcare careers. Many students begin by pursuing nursing credentials. If you’re already a registered nurse, pursuing an rn to bsn online cost program provides a flexible, affordable way to earn a bachelor's degree and improve your job prospects.

For those without a nursing background, there are online msn programs for non nurses that offer advanced education and new career opportunities—often with accelerated timelines.

If you’re concerned about prerequisites, you may want to start with the easiest nursing programs to get into. These schools typically have more flexible admissions requirements, enabling more students to begin their nursing journey.

Healthcare career paths aren’t limited to direct patient care. Those interested in the administrative side can pursue medical billing and coding. Fortunately, there are financial aid for medical billing and coding online classes options, making this pathway even more accessible.
