Global Research Trends on Colorectal Cancer (2014-2023): A Scientometric and Visualized Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the third most common cancer worldwide, significantly contributing to cancer-related deaths and increasingly affecting younger populations. Although its impact on patients' quality of life is profound, scientometric studies on CRC remain underexplored. The objective of this study was to evaluate the scientific literature on CRC from 2014 to 2023, employing a range of scientometric and statistical approaches.

Methods

This study obtained CRC-related publications from the Scopus database. The analyses of the collaboration and co-occurrence among countries/regions, institutions, journals, references, authors, and keywords were conducted utilizing VOSviewer, facilitating the identification of key research trends and emergent subjects.
