Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Internal medicine, Gastroenterology, Cancer, Helicobacter pylori and Surgery. Proton-pump inhibitor, Colonoscopy, Celecoxib, Prospective cohort study and Gastrointestinal bleeding are among the areas of Internal medicine where Wai K. Leung concentrates his study. His work carried out in the field of Proton-pump inhibitor brings together such families of science as Placebo, Esomeprazole, Cumulative incidence and Intention-to-treat analysis.

His study looks at the relationship between Gastroenterology and topics such as Mass screening, which overlap with Predictive value of tests, Developed country and Capsule endoscopy. His Cancer research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Stomach, Methylation, DNA methylation and Cancer research. The Helicobacter pylori study combines topics in areas such as Gastric mucosa and Risk factor.

His most cited work include:

  • Increasing incidence of colorectal cancer in Asia: implications for screening (593 citations)
  • Screening for gastric cancer in Asia: current evidence and practice (583 citations)
  • Preventing Recurrent Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Patients With Helicobacter Pylori Infection Who Are Taking Low-Dose Aspirin or Naproxen (580 citations)

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

Wai K. Leung mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Gastroenterology, Helicobacter pylori, Cancer and Dentistry. His study in Internal medicine is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Surgery and Oncology. His studies link Randomized controlled trial with Gastroenterology.

His research in Clarithromycin, Gastritis, Intestinal metaplasia, Spirillaceae and Rapid urease test are components of Helicobacter pylori. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Stomach, Cancer research and DNA methylation. His study in Dentistry focuses on Periodontitis in particular.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (39.50%)
  • Gastroenterology (21.47%)
  • Helicobacter pylori (13.48%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (39.50%)
  • Gastroenterology (21.47%)
  • Helicobacter pylori (13.48%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Gastroenterology, Helicobacter pylori, Colonoscopy and Colorectal cancer. His Internal medicine research focuses on Cancer, Aspirin, Propensity score matching, Hazard ratio and Interquartile range. Wai K. Leung focuses mostly in the field of Gastroenterology, narrowing it down to matters related to Inflammatory bowel disease and, in some cases, Intensive care medicine.

His work deals with themes such as Metformin and Stomach, which intersect with Helicobacter pylori. His studies deal with areas such as Odds ratio, Retrospective cohort study, Adenoma and Confidence interval as well as Colonoscopy. His research integrates issues of Randomized controlled trial and DNA methylation in his study of Colorectal cancer.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Gastrointestinal Manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Virus Load in Fecal Samples From a Hong Kong Cohort: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. (486 citations)
  • Narrow-Band Imaging for Detection of Neoplasia at Colonoscopy: A Meta-analysis of Data From Individual Patients in Randomized Controlled Trials. (40 citations)
  • Long-term use of proton-pump inhibitors and risk of gastric cancer: a review of the current evidence. (36 citations)
