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.
