Background:
Prostate cancer (PC) contributes to male mortality worldwide. The objective of this study is to comprehensively depict the scientific accomplishments and research trends in nanotechnology for PC applications.
Methods:
Utilizing the Web of Science Core Collection database, publications were gathered on the basis of inclusion and selection criteria. The publications were analyzed and visualized using VOSviewer, R-studio and CiteSpace software tools.
Results:
A total of 1949 studies were incorporated. Farokhzad was the most productive author. The United States and China released 58.13% of the total publications. The Chinese Academy of Sciences was the most influential institution, and the International Journal of Nanomedicine stood out as a prominent journal in this field. The most frequently referenced publication and research subject category were identified. The most extensively investigated area was nanoparticle-based drug delivery, while recent research has focused on anticancer with novel nanocarriers.
Conclusion:
A bibliometric analysis in the PC and nanotechnology was conducted between 2004 and 2023. The overview and characteristics of the publications were identified. We discussed the application and restrictions faced by nanotechnology in PC management. The study of nanotechnology in PC treatment needs to be further studied.
