Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumour in adults and poses a serious health risk. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are zero-dimensional crystalline discs de-rived from two-dimensional graphene, which contribution of GQDs in the treatment of GBM and the great potential for future development. In this study, the Web of Science database was applied to search 462 relevant papers published between 2009 and 2023, and analyzed using VOS viewer and CiteSpace software tools. This analysis aims to provide researchers with insights into the current state of applications and to facilitate a clearer understanding of potential pathways and directions for future research in this field. Our study showed a continuous increase in the number of papers about GQDs in the treatment of GBM. In the field for more than a decade, GQDs has been a research priority in drug delivery due to their excellent optical and chemical properties. It is reasonable to believe that the use of GQDs for drug delivery for the treatment of GBM will be-come one of the extremely important research topics in the future.
