Abstract

Background: Gynecological cancers are characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation within the female reproductive organs. These cancers pose a significant threat to women's health, impacting life expectancy, quality of life, and fertility. Nanoparticles, with their small size, large surface area, and high permeability, have become a key focus in targeted cancer therapy. The aim of this study is to review recent advancements in nanoparticles applied to gynecologic cancers, providing valuable insights for future research.

Methods: We retrieved all literature on nanoparticles in gynecologic cancers from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) database between January 1, 2004, and June 4, 2024. Data analysis and visualization were conducted using R software (version 4.4.0), VOSviewer (version 1.6.19.0), and CiteSpace (version 6.1).

Results: A total of 2,843 publications from January 1, 2004, to June 4, 2024 were searched. Over the past 20 years, there has been a significant increase in publications. The leading countries and institutions in terms of productivity are China and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The most prolific author and the most co-cited author are Sood, A K and Siegel, Rl. The top journals are the International Journal of Nanomedicine (n=97), followed by ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces (n=72) and Journal of Materials Chemistry B (n=53). Keyword analysis shows current research focuses on two main areas: the application of nanoparticles for drug…
