Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cancer
  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Surgery, Sarcoma, Cancer research, Osteosarcoma and Radiation therapy. His study in Radiology extends to Surgery with its themes. His Soft tissue sarcoma study in the realm of Sarcoma interacts with subjects such as General hospital.

His Cancer research research incorporates themes from Cancer, Metastasis, Cell growth, Pathology and microRNA. His research integrates issues of Immunohistochemistry, Orthopaedic oncology, Disease and Drug resistance in his study of Osteosarcoma. The Radiation therapy study combines topics in areas such as Surgical oncology, Oncology, Chordoma, Nuclear medicine and Adjuvant therapy.

His most cited work include:

  • Percutaneous Radiofrequency Coagulation of Osteoid Osteoma Compared with Operative Treatment (461 citations)
  • Causes, consequences, and remedies for growth-induced solid stress in murine and human tumors (440 citations)
  • Osteoid osteoma: percutaneous treatment with radiofrequency energy. (383 citations)

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

Francis J. Hornicek focuses on Surgery, Cancer research, Osteosarcoma, Sarcoma and Pathology. His research on Surgery often connects related areas such as Radiology. Francis J. Hornicek combines subjects such as Cell culture, Cancer, Metastasis, Tissue microarray and Cell growth with his study of Cancer research.

He has included themes like Internal medicine, Chemotherapy and Oncology in his Osteosarcoma study. As part of his studies on Sarcoma, Francis J. Hornicek often connects relevant subjects like Chondrosarcoma. His work deals with themes such as Chordoma and Nuclear medicine, which intersect with Radiation therapy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Surgery (29.73%)
  • Cancer research (26.06%)
  • Osteosarcoma (17.37%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cancer research (26.06%)
  • Osteosarcoma (17.37%)
  • Chordoma (13.90%)

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

Francis J. Hornicek mainly focuses on Cancer research, Osteosarcoma, Chordoma, Metastasis and Sarcoma. His Cancer research study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cell, Cell culture, Cell growth, Ovarian cancer and Tissue microarray. The Osteosarcoma study which covers Oncology that intersects with Survival analysis.

His Chordoma research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nilotinib, Cyclin-dependent kinase, Stage, Chondrosarcoma and Radiation therapy. Radiology and Surgery are all intrinsically tied to his study in Radiation therapy. The various areas that Francis J. Hornicek examines in his Sarcoma study include Gene and Immunotherapy.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Exosomes promote pre-metastatic niche formation in ovarian cancer (53 citations)
  • Advances in immune checkpoint inhibitors for bone sarcoma therapy (44 citations)
  • Small-molecule targeting of brachyury transcription factor addiction in chordoma. (43 citations)

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

  • Cancer
  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine

Francis J. Hornicek mainly investigates Cancer research, Chordoma, Radiation therapy, Metastasis and Sarcoma. When carried out as part of a general Cancer research research project, his work on Osteosarcoma is frequently linked to work in Cyclin-dependent kinase 9, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Osteosarcoma research incorporates elements of Cancer and Immunotherapy.

His Radiation therapy study incorporates themes from Treatment strategy, Newly diagnosed, Chemotherapy and Sacrum. His Metastasis research integrates issues from Liquid biopsy, Ovarian cancer and Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. His Sarcoma study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Immune checkpoint, Chondrosarcoma and Gene.
