The Exploration of Therapeutic Antivirals for Human Papillomavirus in the Last 40 Years: Bibliometric Research

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a well-known carcinogenic DNA virus, responsible for about 4% of all cancer cases globally. Effective antiviral treatments for those who are already infected with HPV are still in their early stages, despite the fact that prophylactic vaccinations have shown impressive success in preventing new infections. Effective treatments for HPV-related malignancies are also hampered by the fact that current articles address a wide spectrum of pathways but lack thorough systematic studies. In this work, we use bibliometric techniques to examine research trends and innovative approaches in the development of HPV antivirals over the last 40 years. Our results are intended to offer insightful information and direct future research into effective antiviral treatments for HPV-induced cancers.
