Bibliometric analysis of pancreatic cancer liver metastasis research: global trends, collaborations, and emerging research hotspots.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pancreatic cancer liver metastasis (PCLM) is a critical condition characterized by the spread of pancreatic cancer to the liver, significantly contributing to cancer-related mortality. The importance of understanding the epidemiology and research trends in PCLM cannot be overstated, as it impacts the development of effective treatment strategies and patient care in oncology.

Method

This study provides a comprehensive epidemiological and bibliometric analysis of PCLM research. Advanced visualization tools such as VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package "bibliometrix" were utilized to analyze the literature. A total of 3,941 publications were identified, covering a 15-year period from 2010 to 2024. The methodology included the identification of publication trends, c
