Abstract
A total of 3,318 English articles on circadian rhythms and cancer were analyzed from 2004 to 2024.
- The volume of publications and citations indicates rapid growth in circadian research related to cancer.
- The United States leads in academic productivity and impact in this research area.
- Chronobiology International is identified as the most frequently published journal in this field.
- Six main themes were identified, including biochemistry, physiology, night shift work impacts, tumor therapy, and oxidative stress.
- Current research frontiers include the regulation of circadian rhythms on cells and the tumor microenvironment.
- Tumor immunotherapy's connection to circadian rhythms emerged as a significant research hotspot.
