Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cancer
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

Julian Peto focuses on Breast cancer, Cancer, Internal medicine, Genetics and Genome-wide association study. His research in Breast cancer intersects with topics in Relative risk, Penetrance, Family history and Genetic predisposition. His research brings together the fields of Risk factor and Cancer.

His work deals with themes such as Endocrinology, Oncology and Allele frequency, which intersect with Internal medicine. His work deals with themes such as BRCA mutation, Hereditary breast–ovarian cancer syndrome and Breast Cancer Genetics, which intersect with Endocrinology. His Genome-wide association study research includes elements of Genetic association and Locus.

His most cited work include:

  • Design and analysis of randomized clinical trials requiring prolonged observation of each patient. II. analysis and examples. (7672 citations)
  • Human papillomavirus is a necessary cause of invasive cervical cancer worldwide. (6919 citations)
  • Prevalence of Human Papillomavirus in Cervical Cancer: a Worldwide Perspective (3003 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Breast cancer, Internal medicine, Oncology, Genetics and Cancer. His Breast cancer study combines topics in areas such as Odds ratio, Genome-wide association study, Genotype, Single-nucleotide polymorphism and Case-control study. His Internal medicine study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Endocrinology and Gynecology.

His Gynecology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Relative risk, Epidemiology, Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and Cytology. The various areas that he examines in his Oncology study include Carcinoma, Pathology, Ovarian cancer, Prostate cancer and Family history. The Cancer study combines topics in areas such as CHEK2, Penetrance and Surgery.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Breast cancer (45.31%)
  • Internal medicine (40.63%)
  • Oncology (30.99%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Breast cancer (45.31%)
  • Genome-wide association study (21.09%)
  • Internal medicine (40.63%)

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

Julian Peto mostly deals with Breast cancer, Genome-wide association study, Internal medicine, Genetics and Oncology. His Breast cancer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Odds ratio, Expression quantitative trait loci, Locus and Genotype. His Internal medicine research includes themes of Disease cluster, Placebo and Immunology.

In the subject of general Genetics, his work in Quantitative trait locus, Cancer, Allele and Endometrial cancer is often linked to B-Cell Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Menarche and Family history is closely connected to Bioinformatics in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Cancer. His research in Oncology tackles topics such as Ovarian cancer which are related to areas like Endometriosis.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Association analysis identifies 65 new breast cancer risk loci (569 citations)
  • RAD51B in Familial Breast Cancer (399 citations)
  • Polygenic Risk Scores for Prediction of Breast Cancer and Breast Cancer Subtypes (257 citations)

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

  • Cancer
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Breast cancer, Genome-wide association study, Genetics, Internal medicine and Oncology. His research on Breast cancer concerns the broader Cancer. In general Cancer study, his work on BRCA2 Protein often relates to the realm of Regional development, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His work carried out in the field of Genome-wide association study brings together such families of science as Expression quantitative trait loci, Colorectal cancer, Genetic predisposition and Locus. Internal medicine is represented through his Odds ratio and Epidemiology research. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Case-control study, Gene mutation and Risk factor.
