A scientometric study on Wnt and Notch signaling pathways in oral potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background/purpose

Accumulating evidence indicates that aberrant activation of certain cellular signaling pathways occurs during the development and progression of oral cancer. The purpose of this study was to analyze the scientometric characteristics of Wnt and Notch pathways in oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Materials and methods

All the papers on Wnt and Notch pathways in OPMD/OSCC were comprehensively retrieved from the Scopus database.

Results

A total of 301 and 169 papers on Wnt and Notch signaling pathway in the field of OPMD/OSCC were retrieved, respectively. As for Wnt pathway in OPMD/OSCC research, distinctive keywords included canonical Wnt signaling, β-catenin, CTNNB1 protein, cyclin D1, frizzled protei
