Research trends and patterns in cell death studies related to oral cancer (2000-2024)

AI simplified

Abstract

A total of 963 publications on in oral cancer were identified from 2000 to 2024.

  • Annual publication output showed a steady increase, especially after 2010, indicating three distinct phases of research growth.
  • The majority of publications originated from China (58.42%), followed by South Korea (12.27%) and Japan (10.04%).
  • Research hotspots shifted from traditional apoptosis to emerging forms of programmed cell death, including autophagy, ferroptosis, and pyroptosis.
  • Three major research clusters were identified: basic molecular mechanisms related to oxidative stress, clinical aspects such as prognosis and cell proliferation, and various cell death pathways.
  • Emerging trends highlight the targeting of multiple programmed cell death pathways for oral cancer therapy, focusing on treatment resistance and patient survival.
