Purpose:The main goal of this study is to discover the scientific evolution of Cancer-Related Symptoms in Complementary and Alternative Medicine research area, analyzing the articles indexed in the Web of Science database from 1980 to 2013.Design/Methodology/Approach: A co-word science mapping analysis is performed under a longitudinal framework (1980 to 2013). The documental corpus is divided into two subperiods, 1980-2008 and 2009-2013. Thus, the performance and impact rates, and conceptual evolution of the research field are shown.Findings: According to the results, the co-word analysis allows us to identify 12 main thematic areas in this emerging research field: anxiety, survivors and palliative care, meditation, treatment, symptoms and cancer types, postmenopause, cancer pain, low back pain, herbal medicine, children, depression and insomnia, inflammation mediators, and lymphedema. The different research lines are identified according to the main thematic areas, centered fundamentally on anxiety and suffering prevention. The scientific community can use this information to identify where the interest is focused and make decisions in different ways.Research limitation: Several limitations can be addressed: 1) some of the Complementary and Alternative Medicine therapies may not have been included; 2) only the documents indexed in Web of Science are analyzed; and 3) the thematic areas detected could change if another dataset was considered. Practical implications:The results obtained in the present study could be considered as an evidence-based framework in which future studies could be built.Originality/value: Currently, there are no studies that show the thematic evolution of this research area.

“…stem cells from the bone marrow or umbilical cord, and would prefer to use autologous cells instead of donor cells. Nevertheless, this situation is likely to change in the immediate future because some stem cells, which can be cryopreserved and stored in tissue banks, are increasingly used in advanced therapies to treat a variety of oncologic, genetic, hematologic and immune deficiency disorders [35–38]. This means that in the foreseeable future, family medicine physicians will come to play an important role not only in patients’ education–i.e., how to guide patients contemplating unproven and unapproved advanced therapies, and thus avoid medical tourism–but also in patients’ safety at the primary care level, in the daily follow-up of patients treated with this type of therapy [39].…”

Background Advanced therapies are increasingly demanded by patients with the intent of treating some incurable conditions. Because family medicine professionals play an important role as health educators, their residency programs should incorporate new knowledge related to advanced therapies. To successfully implement these programs, how family medicine residents perceive these therapies should be investigated. The main components of perception, i.e. conceptual, procedural and attitudinal, refer to knowledge, skills and feelings, respectively. Methods and findings We designed a specific questionnaire to assess the components of perceptions of advanced therapies in 300 medical residents enrolled in the Spanish National Family Medicine Residency Program. Each component consisted of 4 or 5 topics and each topic contained 6 items. Respondents scored highest in the procedural component (average 4.12±1.00), followed by the attitudinal (3.94±1.07) and conceptual component (3.04±1.43). Differences among the three components were statistically significant (p<0.00017). Family medicine residents perceived that procedures to implement advanced therapies are well established, especially their application. However, they felt their cognitive background was insufficient to respond efficiently to the expectations generated by these new therapeutic tools, especially in the regulatory framework. High awareness of the risks and limitations of these treatments was reflected by residents’ preference for clinically tested therapies. Although they appropriately situated treatment with these therapies within hospital care, they associated the biofabrication of novel products with research centers, although these therapeutic tools can be produced in different facilities. Conclusions These results are potentially useful for designing future training programs and health policies for family medicine residents, and suggest the need to implement specific training programs in advanced therapies at the conceptual, procedural and attitudinal level.

“…De la médula ósea al Sistema Nervioso" (10). Más recientemente la aportación conceptual que incardina la ingeniería tisular en la ciencia histológica y a su través en la ciencia médica se ha completado con la defensa de una tesis doctoral (11) y la publicación de dos artículos de investigación bibliométrica en 2018 y 2019 en la revista Tissue Engineering (3,12) La aportación conceptual básica que permite insertar e incardinar la ingeniería tisular en el contexto cognitivo médico y universitario existente implica la aceptación de un cambio de paradigma para la ciencia histológica.…”

“…Para analizar la evolución conceptual y cognitiva de la ingeniería tisular se realizó una investigación bibliométrica de la producción global de documentos científicos en la base de datos de la web of Science entre 1991 y 2016 y una investigación de la estructura cognitiva de la ingeniería tisular mediante mapas con el programa SciMAT (3,12). En el primer caso de los 41.588 documentos que recogen dicha denominación el 55.1% están relacionados con el ámbito de la tecnología y la ingeniería, el 27.26% con ciencias de la vida y biomedicina y un 17.64% con las ciencias físicas.…”

“…En dicho artículo los citados autores definen la ingeniería tisular como "un campo interdisciplinario que aplica los principios de ingeniería y ciencias de la vida al desarrollo de sustitutos biológicos que restauran, mantienen o mejoran la función de los tejidos o de un órgano completo". Desde entonces los diferentes procedimientos, instrumentos, materiales y elementos celulares utilizados para la generación de tejidos artificiales han sido extraordinarios y las instituciones académicas, los sistemas asistenciales, la industria e incluso los gobiernos se han visto afectados por la presencia de esta nueva rama del saber no solo en lo que atañe al ámbito estrictamente científico y sanitario sino también al propiamente económico y regulatorio (3,4,5) En el presente trabajo vamos a considerar la implementación de la ingeniería tisular en el ámbito de la Universidad y del Sistema de Salud en el contexto español y, en concreto, en relación con la experiencia desarrollada en la Universidad de Granada (UGR) y el Sistema Sanitario Público de Andalucía (SSPA). Aunque la vinculación de la ingeniería tisular con la industria será objeto de mención en el trabajo no constituye sin embargo un objetivo fundamental del mismo.…”
