Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine
  • Breast cancer

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Breast cancer, Cancer, Internal medicine, Quality of life and Psychosocial. Her study in Breast cancer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Physical therapy, Gynecology, Randomized controlled trial and Adjuvant therapy. Patricia A. Ganz has included themes like Intensive care medicine, Family medicine and Quality of life in her Cancer study.

Her Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Surgery and Oncology. Her work carried out in the field of Quality of life brings together such families of science as Rehabilitation, Clinical trial, Gerontology, Cohort study and Sexual function. Her work in Psychosocial covers topics such as Distress which are related to areas like Depression.

Her most cited work include:

  • Effect of selenium and vitamin E on risk of prostate cancer and other cancers: the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT). (1671 citations)
  • Effects of tamoxifen vs raloxifene on the risk of developing invasive breast cancer and other disease outcomes: the NSABP Study of Tamoxifen and Raloxifene (STAR) P-2 trial. (1372 citations)
  • Karnofsky performance status revisited: reliability, validity, and guidelines. (1044 citations)

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

Patricia A. Ganz mainly focuses on Breast cancer, Cancer, Internal medicine, Oncology and Family medicine. Her research investigates the connection between Breast cancer and topics such as Psychosocial that intersect with problems in Psychological intervention. Her Cancer study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Quality of life, Disease, Gerontology and Intensive care medicine.

Her research on Internal medicine often connects related topics like Surgery. Her studies deal with areas such as Epidemiology of cancer, Radiation therapy, Adjuvant therapy and Hazard ratio as well as Oncology. Her Family medicine study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nursing, Public health and Alternative medicine.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Breast cancer (53.82%)
  • Cancer (41.09%)
  • Internal medicine (39.57%)

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

  • Breast cancer (53.82%)
  • Internal medicine (39.57%)
  • Cancer (41.09%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Breast cancer, Internal medicine, Cancer, Oncology and Survivorship curve. Her study on Breast cancer also encompasses disciplines like

  • Radiation therapy and related Breast-conserving surgery,
  • Randomized controlled trial that intertwine with fields like Physical therapy. Her study in Colorectal cancer, Clinical trial, Quality of life, Hazard ratio and Adjuvant therapy is carried out as part of her Internal medicine studies.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Young adult, Gerontology, Body mass index and Disease in addition to Cancer. She interconnects Taxane, Whole Breast Irradiation, Chemotherapy, Anastrozole and Prospective cohort study in the investigation of issues within Oncology. In her research on the topic of Survivorship curve, Psychological intervention is strongly related with Psychosocial.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Identification of ten variants associated with risk of estrogen-receptor-negative breast cancer. (182 citations)
  • Identification of 12 new susceptibility loci for different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer (179 citations)
  • Long-term primary results of accelerated partial breast irradiation after breast-conserving surgery for early-stage breast cancer: a randomised, phase 3, equivalence trial (128 citations)

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

  • Cancer
  • Internal medicine
  • Disease

Patricia A. Ganz mostly deals with Breast cancer, Internal medicine, Oncology, Cancer and Survivorship curve. She is involved in the study of Breast cancer that focuses on Mastectomy in particular. Her research integrates issues of Endocrinology and Single-nucleotide polymorphism in her study of Internal medicine.

Her Oncology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Observational study, Whole Breast Irradiation, Chemotherapy, Telomerase and Colorectal cancer. Her Thyroid cancer study in the realm of Cancer interacts with subjects such as Context. Her Survivorship curve study combines topics in areas such as Nursing, Multivariate analysis, Breast Cancer Prevention Trial and TNM staging system.
