What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery

Her primary areas of investigation include Cancer, Internal medicine, Surgery, Cohort study and Clinical trial. Her Cancer study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gerontology, Medical record, Confidence interval, Gynecology and Intensive care unit. Her Internal medicine study frequently links to related topics such as Oncology.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Quality of life and Cohort in addition to Surgery. Her work deals with themes such as Colorectal cancer, Retrospective cohort study and Intensive care medicine, which intersect with Cohort study. Her studies in Clinical trial integrate themes in fields like Family medicine and Therapeutic misconception, Informed consent.

Her most cited work include:

  • Relationship Between Cancer Patients' Predictions of Prognosis and Their Treatment Preferences (995 citations)
  • Symptoms and suffering at the end of life in children with cancer. (903 citations)
  • Patients’ Expectations about Effects of Chemotherapy for Advanced Cancer (711 citations)

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

Jane C. Weeks mainly investigates Internal medicine, Cancer, Oncology, Surgery and Breast cancer. Her Cancer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Prospective cohort study, Logistic regression, Cohort study and Outcomes research. Her research in Cohort study intersects with topics in Retrospective cohort study and Intensive care medicine.

Her Surgery study combines topics in areas such as Clinical trial and Quality of life. In her research, Informed consent is intimately related to Family medicine, which falls under the overarching field of Clinical trial. Her Breast cancer research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Odds ratio and Gynecology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (53.01%)
  • Cancer (45.36%)
  • Oncology (34.43%)
