Summary
This study analyzed top-cited head and neck oncology (HNO) articles to identify research trends and influential journals. The New England Journal of Medicine published the most impactful HNO research, with the United States leading in contributions.
Area of Science:
- Otorhinolaryngology (ORL)
- Oncology
- Bibliometrics
Background:
- Citation count is a key metric for evaluating scientific impact.
- Understanding trends in head and neck oncology (HNO) literature is crucial for researchers.
- A practical guide to evaluating HNO literature is needed.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a practical guide for evaluating head and neck oncology literature.
- To identify characteristics and trends in highly cited HNO articles.
- To inform young HNO scientists about influential research.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective bibliometric analysis of HNO articles.
- Searched Thomson Reuters Web of Science for "Head AND NECK AND (cancer OR carcinoma OR oncology)."
- Analyzed the top 100 most cited articles, excluding non-head and neck malignancies.
Main Results:
- New England Journal of Medicine (19 articles), Journal of Clinical Oncology (17), and Cancer Research (12) published the most cited HNO articles.
- The highest cited article received 2243 citations.
- The United States (63 articles) and Johns Hopkins (15 articles) led in contributions; journal impact factor correlated with citation count.
Conclusions:
- Analysis offers insights into citation frequency and trends in HNO research.
- Identifies influential journals and institutions in head and neck oncology.
- Serves as a curated reading list for emerging HNO scientists.

02:12What is Cancer?
Cells and tissues must meticulously coordinate their activities for the normal functioning of the human body. Therefore, they exhibit socially responsible behavior - resting, growing, dividing, differentiating, or dying - for the organism’s benefit. Cancer arises when cells divide uncontrollably and invade other tissues or organs.
Although people have known about cancer for centuries, it was only in 1761 that Giovanni Morgagni of Padua performed a detailed autopsy of patients who died from...

02:49Cancer Therapies
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

02:57Targeted Cancer Therapies
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.

01:26Arteries of the Head and Neck
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

01:19Veins of Head and Neck
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...
