Hotspots and trends in gastric cancer stem cell research: a visualization and bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gastric cancer (GC) is a type of malignant tumor that seriously endangers human health. As the understanding of the mechanisms underlying gastric cancer deepens, in recent years, investigations on gastric cancer stem cells (GCSCs) have garnered significant interest. They are pivotal in the onset, progression, recurrence, and pharmacoresistance of GC. Comprehensive research on GCSCs is expected to provide new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of GC. This article endeavors to comprehensively assess the current status and future trends of GCSCs research through bibliometric analysis, thereby providing a valuable reference for further in - depth studies in this field.

Methods

English - language academic journals related to GCSCs research in the Web of Science
