CARRENO DUENAS, Alexander et al. Cancer Research in Colombia, 2000-2010. rev.colomb.cancerol. [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.1, pp.39-46. ISSN 0123-9015. https://doi.org/10.10167j.rccan.2014.07.004.
Introduction: Cancer research must generate knowledge that permits the improvement of the different components of cancer control. The information about research topics, resources and capabilities in this country will enable adjustments to be made aimed at achieving a greater impact on cancer control and management. Purpose: To describe the general features of cancer research in Colombia between 2000 and 2010, in terms of the number of individuals, groups and institutions developing research in cancer, and to identify the cancer projects developed and their associated bibliographic production. Methods: The Colciencias platforms were consulted in order to identify cancer-related researchers, research groups, institutions and projects. A search was conducted in the databases Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed to determine the associated bibliographic production. Findings: A total of 1,982 individuals, 546 groups, 129 institutions, and 2,481 cancer research products were identified, with the most frequently studied cancers being cervix, stomach, breast, leukemia, and liver. The most common developed cancer research areas were diagnosis and treatment, and cancer biology. The most common publication types were diagnostic tests, case series, and review articles. The average publication impact factor was 2.53. Discussion: Despite the increase in cancer research capacity observed in recent years in Colombia, limitations in the visibility of the bibliographic production were observed, as well as a lack of research in some common cancers.
