Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation Topic Modeling to Uncover Latent Research Topics and Trends in Renal Cell Carcinoma: Bibliometric Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common, often lethal kidney cancer that originates in the renal cortex. Its incidence is rising, and major factors include smoking, obesity, and hypertension, though its etiology is uncertain. While surgery is effective for localized RCC, treatments for metastatic RCC have advanced significantly due to better diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive tools. Despite this progress, challenges remain, including long-term drug resistance and the complexity of RCC as a diverse group of diseases rather than a single entity.

Objective

The aim of this bibliometric review was a comprehensive analysis of the topics and trends in RCC research, offering a foundation for future investigations.

Methods

We used R "Bibliometrix" to conduct a bi
