Their work also encompasses pulmonary and respiratory medicine, molecular biology, and pathology and forensic medicine. The scientist's research themes include bladder and urothelial cancer treatments, head and neck cancer studies, occupational and environmental lung diseases, urinary and genital oncology studies, epigenetics and DNA methylation, cancer genomics and diagnostics, as well as global cancer incidence and screening.

Benhamou has contributed to numerous publications spanning high-impact journals and repositories. Frequent publication venues include UNC Libraries with nine publications, the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine with two, and European Urology also with two. Additional publication contributions have appeared in the British Journal of Cancer and Oral Diseases.

Collaborations with other researchers are characteristic of Benhamou's work, with frequent coauthors including Zuo-Feng Zhang and Mark P. Purdue, both appearing twelve times alongside Benhamou. Wolfgang Ahrens is credited eleven times, while María Paula Curado and Paolo Boffetta have each coauthored ten papers collaboratively.
