Cancer remains a significant global health challenge, claiming nearly 10 million lives in 2020 according to the World Health Organization. In the quest for novel treatments, fungi, especially species, have emerged as a valuable source of bioactive compounds with promising anticancer properties. This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to map the research landscape of in oncology, examining publications from 1982 to the present. We observed a marked increase in research activity starting in 2000, with a notable peak from 2005 onwards. The analysis identifies key contributors, including Mohamed GG, who has authored 15 papers with 322 citations, and El-Sayed Asa, with 14 papers and 264 citations. Leading countries in this research field include India, Egypt, and China, with King Saud University and Cairo University as the leading institutions. Prominent research themes identified are "endophyte," "green synthesis," "antimicrobial," "anti-cancer," and "biological activities," indicating a shift towards environmentally sustainable drug development. Our findings highlight the considerable potential of for developing new anticancer therapies and underscore the necessity for further research to harness these natural compounds for clinical use.
癌症仍然是一项重大的全球健康挑战,根据世界卫生组织的数据,2020年有近1000万人死于癌症。在寻求新型治疗方法的过程中,真菌,尤其是某些物种,已成为具有潜在抗癌特性的生物活性化合物的宝贵来源。本研究进行了全面的文献计量分析,以描绘真菌在肿瘤学领域的研究概况,研究了1982年至今的出版物。我们观察到从2000年开始研究活动显著增加,从2005年起有一个明显的峰值。分析确定了关键贡献者,包括穆罕默德·GG,他撰写了15篇论文,被引用322次,以及埃尔 - 赛义德·阿萨,撰写了14篇论文,被引用264次。该研究领域的主要国家包括印度、埃及和中国,沙特国王大学和开罗大学是主要机构。确定的突出研究主题是“内生菌”、“绿色合成”、“抗菌”、“抗癌”和“生物活性”,表明朝着环境可持续的药物开发转变。我们的研究结果突出了真菌在开发新的抗癌疗法方面的巨大潜力,并强调了进一步研究以利用这些天然化合物用于临床的必要性。
