Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cancer
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

Waun Ki Hong spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Pathology, Lung cancer, Cancer and Cancer research. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Surgery and Oncology. His Pathology study which covers Carcinogenesis that intersects with Head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma, Retinoid, Carcinogen and Loss of heterozygosity.

His Lung cancer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Respiratory disease, Epidermal growth factor receptor, Case-control study, Targeted therapy and Physiology. His Cancer research also works with subjects such as

  • Odds ratio that connect with fields like Risk factor and Genotype,
  • Disease which intersects with area such as Dermatology. His work deals with themes such as Methylation, Gene, Retinoic acid and Apoptosis, Programmed cell death, which intersect with Cancer research.

His most cited work include:

  • Head and neck cancer. (2109 citations)
  • Induction chemotherapy plus radiation compared with surgery plus radiation in patients with advanced laryngeal cancer (2025 citations)
  • Prevention of second primary tumors with isotretinoin in squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck. (1191 citations)

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

Waun Ki Hong focuses on Internal medicine, Lung cancer, Oncology, Pathology and Cancer. His research in Internal medicine intersects with topics in Gastroenterology, Endocrinology and Surgery. His Lung cancer research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Odds ratio, Respiratory disease, Cancer research, Epidermal growth factor receptor and Adenocarcinoma.

His Cancer research research also works with subjects such as

  • Apoptosis that connect with fields like Cell culture,
  • Epidermoid carcinoma which is related to area like Head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma. His studies in Oncology integrate themes in fields like Clinical trial and Genotype. His research integrates issues of Carcinogenesis and Lung in his study of Pathology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (50.39%)
  • Lung cancer (33.12%)
  • Oncology (32.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (50.39%)
  • Lung cancer (33.12%)
  • Oncology (32.81%)

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

His main research concerns Internal medicine, Lung cancer, Oncology, Cancer and Pathology. Waun Ki Hong has researched Internal medicine in several fields, including Surgery and Immunology. The various areas that Waun Ki Hong examines in his Lung cancer study include Cancer research, KRAS, Carcinoma, Targeted therapy and Adenocarcinoma.

Waun Ki Hong studied Oncology and Genotype that intersect with Genetic variation. The study incorporates disciplines such as Gene expression profiling, Bioinformatics and Confidence interval in addition to Cancer. His study looks at the relationship between Pathology and fields such as Lung, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The BATTLE Trial: Personalizing Therapy for Lung Cancer (668 citations)
  • Intratumor heterogeneity in localized lung adenocarcinomas delineated by multiregion sequencing (622 citations)
  • An Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition Gene Signature Predicts Resistance to EGFR and PI3K Inhibitors and Identifies Axl as a Therapeutic Target for Overcoming EGFR Inhibitor Resistance (577 citations)

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

  • Cancer
  • Gene
  • Internal medicine

Waun Ki Hong mainly focuses on Lung cancer, Cancer, Internal medicine, Oncology and Cancer research. His study in Lung cancer is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Targeted therapy, KRAS, Radiology, Pneumonitis and Adenocarcinoma. The Cancer study combines topics in areas such as Gene expression, Gene expression profiling, Surgery and Pathology.

His Internal medicine study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Single-nucleotide polymorphism. His Oncology study incorporates themes from Clinical endpoint, Clinical trial, Immunology, Confidence interval and Carcinoma. In his research, Dysplasia is intimately related to Gene, which falls under the overarching field of Cancer research.
