Abstract

The following analysis was performed to investigate which, at the moment, are the main centers of cancer research from the international point of view. The criterion was the number of contributions to research papers in five leading cancer journals which are considered to have a high standard. The research reports in these five journals originated from many countries and can be regarded as being international. According to the results, USA is the leading country contributing with 70% of all the papers published in the five journals. However, it has to be noted that three of the five investigated journals are published in the USA. The countries which followed were England, Canada, France, Japan and Sweden, which together contributed 16% of the papers. The remaining 14% of the papers originated from 58 other countries.
