Benign Tumor Publication in One Year (2022): A Cross-Sectional Study
Abstract
Introduction
A benign tumor is a form of abnormal cell proliferation that remains confined to its site of origin, grows slowly, does not spread to distant body parts, nor does it invade the surrounding local structures. In this study, we aim to evaluate and list the scientific publications regarding benign tumors in the year 2022.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted, including the published papers on benign tumors in the year 2022. The data were collected online from the Google Scholar search engine and recorded in Microsoft Excel 2010. The extracted data were calculated and thoroughly re-evaluated, then presented as frequencies and percentages.
Results
A total of 17,007 medical studies were included in this report, with the brain having 3,450 (20.3%) studies, making it the organ with the most studies, whereas the hypopharyngeal portion of the throat had only one study and is, hence, the least studied one.
Conclusion
There is limited reporting and data available on benign tumors, and they are very scattered, leading to either a lack of or a misunderstanding of the burden they pose.
