Introduction Most (over 95) colon cancers are
Aden carcinomas that develop when a change (i.e.,
mutation) occurs in cells that line the wall of
the colon or rectum. The disease often begins as
an intestinal polyp, also called an adenoma,
which is an abnormal growth of tissue. In this
study, a bibliometric analysis based on Science
Citation Index (SCI) was carried out on colon
cancer-related publications during the time span
of 1991 to 2005.
Methods Documents used in this study were based
on the databases of the SCI which was accessed
from the ISI Web of Science, Colon cancer,
rectum cancer, colorectal cancer,
pharmacogenomics and polymorphism were used as
keywords to search titles, abstracts, and
keywords. Parameters analyzed included type of
document, page count, authorship, journal, author
keywords and country of publication.
Results

• Of the 10,248 articles in SCI, 5,570 articles had
  author keyword information. Among 1,654 keywords,
  1,239 (74) keywords were used only 1 time.

• Conclusions
• The logarithmic relation shows that Colony Cancer
  research was a constant growth rate on
  publications in the fifty year.
• Eight document types were found in the total of
  1,438 documents. Eighty-six percent of all
  documents are articles.
• As the keywords analysis, colorectal cancer is
  more popular than Polymorphism.
• Thirsty-seven percent of all articles were
  published in journals which listed in the
  category of oncology.
