Top 20 Institutions
Of the 31 unique institutions that make up these lists, 22 are US-based organizations, eight from Europe, and one from Canada. There are definite research clusters visible with these institutions: in the US, there are clusters in the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions (Harvard, Dana Farber, Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham & Women's Hospital, Memorial Sloan Kettering, the universities of Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh, Johns Hopkins, and the National Cancer Institute), California (three Universities of California—San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles), Texas (Baylor, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio).
In Europe, Germany (German Cancer Research Center, and the universities of Dusseldorf, Heidelberg, Tubingen, and Regensburg), and Switzerland (University of Zurich, University of Lausanne) show this trend.
Top institutions can also be correlated with the top authors. As previously shown, Duke, which ranks at #4 by cites and by papers, can claim Darrell Bigner, Roger McLendon, Henry Friedman, and David Reardon; and UCSF has Susan Chang, Mitchel Berger, Michael Prados, and Kathleen Lamborn. In the top slot, Harvard has David Louis and Patrick Wen. Kenneth Aldape and W. Alfred Young hail from MD Anderson.

Overall General Information
Regarding Top 20 Scientists, Institutions, Journals, & Nations
Citation tables allow us to map compelling trends:
- Are there particular nations or institutions that might be expected to dominate research in the Topic area, and do the numbers bear out these expectations, or are there surprises?
- Who are the leading scientists and where are they located?
While these tables cannot offer a complete picture, the number of trends and anomalies that can be spotlighted or connected across categories is striking. The tables often lead to renewed perspectives to further explore and validate.
What are Special Topics?
Special Topics, from ScienceWatch.com, is designed to complement Essential Science IndicatorsSM from Clarivate in providing citation analyses and commentary for selected scientific research areas that have experienced notable recent advances or are of special current interest.
