Thematic trends and knowledge-map of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in breast cancer: a scientometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), essential for the anti-tumor response, are now recognized as promising and cost-effective biomarkers with both prognostic and predictive value. They are crucial in the precision treatment of breast cancer, particularly for predicting clinical outcomes and identifying candidates for immunotherapy. This study aims to encapsulate the current knowledge of TILs in breast cancer research while evaluating research trends both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Methods

Publications on TILs in breast cancer studies from January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2023, were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection. Co-occurrence and collaboration analyses among countries/regions, institutions, authors, and keywords were performed with Bi
