His main research concerns Surgery, Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Radiation therapy, Radiology and Internal medicine. His Surgery research includes themes of Carcinoma and Neck dissection. His research in Carcinoma intersects with topics in Prospective cohort study and Quality of life.

His work in Nasopharyngeal carcinoma tackles topics such as Resection margin which are related to areas like Sinus. His Radiation therapy research includes elements of Stage and Nodal metastasis. William I. Wei usually deals with Internal medicine and limits it to topics linked to Oncology and Pathology, Etiology and Head and neck cancer.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Surgical salvage of persistent or recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma with maxillary swing approach — Critical appraisal after 2 decades (76 citations)
  • MicroRNA let-7 suppresses nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells proliferation through downregulating c-Myc expression (74 citations)
  • Sinonasal malignant melanoma: an analysis of 115 cases assessing outcomes of surgery, postoperative radiotherapy and endoscopic resection. (67 citations)

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

  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine
  • Cancer

His scientific interests lie mostly in Surgery, Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Radiation therapy, Carcinoma and Otorhinolaryngology. His work carried out in the field of Nasopharyngeal carcinoma brings together such families of science as Osteoradionecrosis, Surgical approach, Brachytherapy and Critical appraisal. The various areas that he examines in his Radiation therapy study include Survival rate, Lymph node metastasis, Stage and Fine-needle aspiration.

His study looks at the relationship between Survival rate and topics such as Incidence, which overlap with Neck dissection. His studies deal with areas such as Young adult, Cancer and Quality of life as well as Carcinoma. His Otorhinolaryngology study also includes

  • Nose neoplasm that connect with fields like Adenocarcinoma, Endoscopy, Paranasal sinuses, Melanoma and Prospective cohort study,
  • Olfactory Neuroblastoma that intertwine with fields like Craniofacial, Physical examination and Nose.
