Core Tip

Core Tip: From 2000 to 2022, the application of nanomaterials in gastric cancer (GC) developed rapidly. The keywords co-occurrence analysis showed that the related research topics were divided into three clusters: (1) The application of nanomaterials in GC treatment; (2) The application and toxicity of nanomaterials in GC diagnosis; and (3) The effect of nanomaterials on the biological behavior of GC cells. Complexes, silver nanoparticles, and green synthesis were the latest high-frequency keywords that represent promising future research directions. Thus, the application of nanomaterials in GC diagnosis and treatment; and the mechanisms of their effects on GC cells have been major themes in this field over the past 23 years.
