## Description

- description: 'This study investigated the evolving trends, current research hotspots,
    and future directions of radiotherapy combined with nanobiomaterials through a
    bibliometric analysis. Publications related to nanobiomaterials used in radiotherapy
    between 2004 and 2024 were retrieved from theWeb of Science Core Collection database
    and analyzed using VOSviewer, R, and CiteSpace. China emerged as the leading contributor,
    accounting for 1051 publications (50.41%), followed by the USA. Liu Zhuang is
    the most productive author in this field. American Chemical Society (ACS) Nano
    published the most influential articles and accumulated the highest number of
    citations. Advanced Targeted Therapies in Cancer: Drug Nanocarriers, the Future
    of Chemotherapy was the most cited, with 1255 citations. Citation bursts have
    revealed emerging research trends in targeted delivery, cellular studies, co-delivery
    strategies, immunogenic cell death, polymeric nanoparticles, tumor research, and
    drug delivery systems, indicating potential avenues for future research. Over
    the past two decades, nanomaterials for radiotherapy have gained substantial attention.
    Key areas of focus include enhancing the efficacy of radiotherapy, achieving targeted
    drug delivery, minimizing adverse effects, and integrating nanomaterials with
    other therapeutic modalities. Future investigations are expected to improve the
    precision of radiotherapy, augment radiation effects, and optimize the tumor microenvironment.'
