Summary
Physical activity significantly improves thyroid cancer outcomes, reducing disease risk and enhancing clinical results. This bibliometric analysis reveals a growing research focus on metabolic health and patient-centered care in thyroid cancer survivorship.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Public Health
- Exercise Science
Background:
- Growing body of research on physical activity and thyroid cancer.
- Lack of comprehensive bibliometric analysis in this field.
- Need to understand the knowledge structure and research trends.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of research on physical activity in thyroid cancer.
- To identify knowledge structure and research hotspots.
- To map the evolution of research trends.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of publications from Web of Science Core Collection and PubMed (2001-2025).
- Utilized VOSviewers, CiteSpace, and R package 'bibliometrix'.
- Analyzed authors, institutions, countries, journals, and research topics.
Main Results:
- 173 papers published by 1020 authors from 182 institutions across 46 countries.
- Exponential research growth observed since 2009.
- United States leads in publications and citations; 'Thyroid' journal is most cited.
- Research focus shifting towards metabolic health and patient-centered outcomes.
Conclusions:
- Physical activity is linked to lower thyroid cancer risk and better clinical outcomes.
- Research trends align with global priorities in cancer survivorship care.
- Highlights significant public health and clinical implications of physical activity in thyroid cancer management.

01:18Functions of Thyroid Hormones
4.9K
The thyroid hormone (TH) plays a pivotal role in the intricate orchestration of physiological processes, exerting profound effects on development, metabolism, and homeostasis throughout different life stages.
TH is indispensable for the normal development and maturation of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems during fetal and childhood growth. It facilitates bone mineral turnover and regulates protein synthesis in developing tissues, contributing significantly to overall growth and...

01:20Synthesis and Regulation of Thyroid Hormones
7.1K
Low blood levels of the thyroid hormones — triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) — signal the hypothalamus to release the thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then reaches the pituitary gland and stimulates the release of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) into the bloodstream.
Upon reaching the thyroid gland, TSH stimulates the follicular cells' active uptake of iodide ions from the blood. The ions diffuse to the apical surface of the cells and are oxidized to iodine. The...

03:03mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression
4.6K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.

02:59Cancer Prevention
7.6K
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

01:23The Thyroid Gland
6.6K
The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck and covers the anterior surface of the trachea. The gland has two lateral lobes connected by a thin tissue mass called the isthmus. Internally, each lobe comprises many small spherical structures known as thyroid follicles, surrounded by a network of blood vessels.
The follicles have a central cavity lined by simple cuboidal to squamous epithelial cells called follicular cells. These cells produce the glycoprotein...

01:21Cancer Survival Analysis
630
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...
