Global bibliometric analysis of pleural mesothelioma biomarkers (2002-2024): trends and emerging frontiers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is an aggressive malignancy that originates on the mesothelial surface of the pleura, peritoneum, pericardium, and tunica vaginalis. Due to the absence of specific clinical symptoms, early-stage diagnosis occurs in fewer than 5% of cases. Comprehensive assessments of the research landscape on PM biomarkers remain scarce. Therefore, this study employs bibliometric methods to systematically analyze research trends and developments in PM biomarkers, delineate the historical and current research landscape, and identify emerging research frontiers.

Methods

We conducted a literature search for studies on PM biomarkers published between January 1, 2002, and December 31, 2024. Bibliometric analysis and data visualization were performed using VOSv
