A Bibliometric Analysis of Tumor Dormancy in the 21st Century
ABSTRACT
Background:
Tumor dormancy is an emerging field. In recent years, the field has attracted a lot of interest.
Objective:
This scientometric study's objectives are to review the findings in the area of tumor dormancy research and to pinpoint potential future research hotspots.
Methods:
Web of Science was used to retrieve English literature on tumor dormancy published in this century. After removing irrelevant material, a complete record of each publication was saved, including the title, year of publication, author's name, nationality, affiliation, journal name, keywords, and abstract. The author, country, institution, journal, year of publication, and highly cited publications were all examined using VOSviewer.
Results:
We observed that research on tumor dormancy has increased over the past 22 years, particularly from 2015 to the present, by looking at 3167 papers that were linked to the topic. As such, the United States is a world leader in this field of study. Aguirre-Ghiso, Julio A. is the author with the most publications and citations, while Harvard University is the organization with the most publications overall. The mechanisms behind tumor dormancy, methods for treating tumor dormancy, and the relationship between tumor dormancy and bone marrow have all been the subject of research.
Conclusions:
We think that the microenvironment of tumor dormancy and immunotherapy of tumor dormancy may be the most important study fields, but research on the mechanism and treatment of tumor dormancy has continued to gain attention.
