Ali Montazeri (Ali Montazeri Moghaddam, born September 2, 1958) is an Iranian public health scientist at the Health Metrics Research Center of the Iranian Institute for Health Sciences Research.[1] He is editor-in-chief of an Iranian health journal: Payesh (Health Monitor-the journal of Iranian Institute for Health Sciences Research)[2] and the associate editor of Health and Quality of Life Outcomes [3] and academic editor for PLOS One.[4] He has been three times the director of Academic Center for Education, Culture and Research.[5]

Education

Montazeri received his PhD from University of Glasgow; his thesis concerned the quality of life in lung cancer patients, and was jointly supervised by Charles Gillis and James McEwen.[6]

Research

Montazeri published a paper in 2004 that found knowledge of cancer diagnosis does not change how a person fills out a questionnaire about his or her quality of life.[7] In a 2012 book chapter, he proposed that research be conducted to see how quality of life in people with cancer is affected by the way a cancer diagnosis is disclosed and how the person's level of education affects quality of life.[8]

He also published papers in 2002, 2003, and 2015 about the epidemiology of breast cancer and breast cancer preventive behaviors such as breast self-examination[9][10][11]

In 2008 and 2009, he published two reviews of the literature on the quality of life in women with breast cancer which are still receiving considerable attention .[12][13]

Recently he published an updated review on the quality of life in breast cancer patients[14] and a systematic review of qualitative studies on the topic.[15] He and his colleagues also developed a guideline for reporting bibliometric reviews, namely the BIBLIO.[16]
