Nanogels as Drug Carrier in Cancer Treatment: A Bibliometric Overview of the Publication in Web of Science in year 2004-2021

Abstract

This is a bibliometric analysis study of nanogels in cancer treatment by studying the documents related to nanogels field. As cancer has been reported to have high amounts of cases, thus an efficient treatment is essential for all the tumour patients. Nanogels has the ability to transport the anticancer drug to the targeted site on the tumour microenvironment. A lot studies has been done regarding to the nanogels and nanotechnology started to attract people in 1980s where United State initiated the lead in 2000. An analysis has been done in this paper by extracting data from WOS database and visualize through VOSviewer to study the collaboration network, topic of interest and impact of publications. Finding reveal that the collaboration work is strong between United State and China as both countries are successful in scientific knowledge technology. This study is expected to have an impact for future nanogel study in cancer treatment.
