Purpose: Health technology research & development is an important area to leading future. This study examined the current trends for 'oncogene' based on the research subject network to deduce a research front. Method: Papers were extracted from PubMed database using MeSH term for studies on 'oncogenes' and further categorized as papers published by Korean. Keywords were collected from all of articles. Research subject network was generated by keywords. Research subject network was analyzed by weighted degree centrality based social network analysis and transition of research subjects was analyzed by the time series. Results: On 'oncogenes', 'Genes, ras', 'Apoptosis', 'Signal Transduction' had a high degree centrality and currently 'Antineoplastic Agents', 'Prognosis', and 'Tumor Markers, Biological' were widely conducted. Conclusion: Consistency of research trend pattern was found by analyzing oncogene network with compromised to international vs. domestic trends. Analyzing keyword networks in various subject area, those will allow us to predict the research progress and propose evidence of research & developmental strategy.
