Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Disease

Internal medicine, Cancer, Risk factor, Odds ratio and Epidemiology are his primary areas of study. His research in Internal medicine intersects with topics in Gastroenterology and Oncology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Lung cancer and Pathology in addition to Cancer.

His work in Risk factor tackles topics such as Surgery which are related to areas like Cohort study, Absolute risk reduction, Etiology and Attributable risk. His Odds ratio research incorporates themes from Bladder cancer, Endocrinology, Case-control study, Immunology and Genotype. The Epidemiology study combines topics in areas such as Environmental health, Young adult, Demography, Toxicology and Public health.

His most cited work include:

  • General and abdominal adiposity and risk of death in Europe. (1526 citations)
  • A susceptibility locus for lung cancer maps to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit genes on 15q25 (1074 citations)
  • Cancer risk from occupational and environmental exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (806 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Cancer, Epidemiology, Odds ratio and Case-control study. His research integrates issues of Gastroenterology, Surgery and Oncology in his study of Internal medicine. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Cancer, Gerontology is strongly linked to Demography.

His Epidemiology research includes elements of Head and neck cancer, Cohort study, Public health and Environmental health. The various areas that Paolo Boffetta examines in his Cohort study study include Prospective cohort study, Proportional hazards model and Hazard ratio. In his study, Meta-analysis is inextricably linked to Confidence interval, which falls within the broad field of Odds ratio.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (48.58%)
  • Cancer (40.59%)
  • Epidemiology (30.57%)

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

  • Internal medicine (48.58%)
  • Cancer (40.59%)
  • Confidence interval (19.93%)

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

Paolo Boffetta mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Cancer, Confidence interval, Demography and Cohort study. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Gastroenterology and Oncology. His studies deal with areas such as Lung cancer and Risk factor as well as Cancer.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Confidence interval, Odds ratio are connected with Logistic regression, Case-control study, Confounding and Quartile and other disciplines. His Demography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cancer Death Rate and World population. Paolo Boffetta has included themes like Hazard ratio, Environmental health, Diabetes mellitus, Opiate and Cohort in his Cohort study study.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Fruit and Vegetable Intake and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease, Total Cancer and All-Cause Mortality-A Systematic Review and Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Prospective Studies (719 citations)
  • European cancer mortality predictions for the year 2017, with focus on lung cancer. (138 citations)
  • European cancer mortality predictions for the year 2018 with focus on colorectal cancer (107 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Disease

His main research concerns Cancer, Internal medicine, Demography, Cohort study and Prospective cohort study. His study connects Risk factor and Cancer. His Internal medicine study incorporates themes from Gastroenterology and Oncology.

The various areas that Paolo Boffetta examines in his Demography study include Stomach cancer, Lung cancer, Disease and Confidence interval. His Cohort study research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Surgery, Incidence, Environmental health, Hazard ratio and Cohort. His Prospective cohort study study incorporates themes from Relative risk, Cumulative incidence and Gerontology.
