Hypothesis
What are the current trends and research directions in FAP-directed cancer theranostics?
Conclusion
The study reveals significant trends in FAP-related research, highlighting the dominance of Germany, the USA, and China in publications and collaborations.
Supporting Evidence
- 2,664 FAP-related publications were retrieved from 1992 to 2024.
- Germany, the USA, and China were the leading countries in FAP research.
- Southwest Medical University was identified as the most productive institute.
- Keywords like 'FAP', '68Ga-FAPI', and 'PET/CT' emerged as significant in the field.
Takeaway
This study looks at how scientists are researching a protein called FAP that helps in cancer treatment, showing where most studies are coming from and what they focus on.
Methodology
A bibliometric analysis of scientific publications related to FAP and FAPI-based radiotracers was performed using the Web of Science Core Collection databases.
Limitations
The study may have excluded relevant literature if the search term did not appear in the search field, and it only considered FAP-based research trends from 1990 to 2024.
