## Abstract

This study aims to analyze the literature published regarding nano-oncology and, more specifically, global trends concerning nanoparticles and nanotubes from 2003 to 2025. This bibliometric analysis gathered data from the Web of Science Core Collection, incorporating keywords such as oncology, nanotechnology, nanomedicine, nanoparticles, and nanotubes. With the retrieved data visualized in the VOSViewer program and Web of Science Core Collection, the primary focus was on keywords, countries, and organizations, from 1,465 total documents. Analysis indicates that research has increased recently because of the development of nanotechnologies, particularly through drug delivery and imaging mechanisms. The United States, the People’s Republic of China, and India were the most prevalent publishers, often collaborating with other countries to focus on an integrated global community with similar nanotechnological interests based on shared challenges. Overall, this analysis highlights the continuously evolving field of nano-oncology and how these advancements will reshape global cancer treatment.
