Research trends and hotspots on the links between caveolin and cancer: bibliometric and visual analysis from 2003 to 2022

Deciphering two decades of cellular reprogramming in cancer: A bibliometric analysis of evolving trends and research frontiers

Recent research has reevaluated the traditional view of cancer's linear progression and recurrence by introducing cellular reprogramming a process in which cancer cells can their state under certain conditions. This change is driven by a combination of genetic and epigenetic factors, with pivotal roles played by key genes, and pathways, notably Wnt and Notch. The complexity of cancer's behavior is further influenced by factors such as the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and therapy-induced stress, both of which are significant contributors to cancer recurrence. In this context bibliometric analysis emerges as a crucial tool for evaluating the impacts and trends within scientific literature. Our study utilized bibliometrics to analysis the role of cellular reprogramming oncology over the past two decades, highlighting its potential to improve cancer treatment outcomes. In conducting this analysis, we searched for literature search on cellular reprogramming (CR) in the Web of Science database, covering the years 2002-2022. We employed visualization tools like Citespace, VOSviewer, and Bibliometrix to analyze the collected data resulting in a dataset of 3102 articles. The United States and China emerged as leading contributors to this field, with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center being the most prolific institution. Menendez was the most influential scholar in this research domain. Cancers was the journal with the most publications on this subject. The most local-cited document was the article titled "Hallmarks of Cancer: The Next Generation". A comprehensive analysis has been conducted based on keywords and cited references. In recent years, the research emphasis has shifted to "extracellular vesicles," "cancer therapy," and "cellular plasticity". Therefore, this analysis uses bibliometrics to chart cutting-edge progress in cancer's cellular reprogramming, aiding experts to quickly understand and innovate in this crucial area.

Bibliometric analysis of research trends on the combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors and PARP inhibitors in solid tumors

Introduction

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has made significant achievements in the therapeutics of various tumor types, and recently growing evidence from preclinical studies and clinical trials has indicated that poly-ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) are exhibiting encouraging synergism with ICIs. The aim of our current study is to explore the development pattern of literature related to the combined therapy of ICIs and PARPi in solid tumors from a bibliometric perspective.

Methods

Publications concerning the combination of ICIs and PARPi in solid tumors during 2008-2022 were extracted from the WOSCC database. VOSviewer and R-bibliometrix were applied to conduct bibliometrics.

Results

In total, 1113 articles were finally included. The USA was the most dominant country, and University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center was the most fruitful institute. Andreas Schneeweiss ranked first concerning the amount of publications in this research domain, and Timothy Yap had the most citations on this theme. The analysis of keyword co-occurrence indicated that research frontiers were shifted from the biological mechanisms of cell death to the combined strategy of ICIs and PARPi in clinical trials.

Conclusions

Our study comprehensively examined the publications on the combination of ICIs and PARPi in solid tumors from a bibliometric perspective. The research on this topic is in its rapid growth stage, and the USA is possessing an absolutely leading position in this field by its scientific accumulations and productivity. Moreover, the research frontiers have shifted from the mechanisms of ICIs and PARPi to their combined treatment in clinical application. In summary, our results demonstrated a comprehensive overview of the knowledge atlas and a valuable reference for the future investigations in this field.
