Research trends on immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer: A bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to summarize and visually analyze the current research status in pancreatic cancer immunotherapy during the past two decades by bibliometrics and explore the current research hotspots and future development directions. The literature related to pancreatic cancer immunotherapy from 2002 to 2021 was downloaded from the core database of the Web of Science. VOSviewer and CiteSpace software were used to visualize the included literature. A total of 2528 articles were included. In the past two decades, publications in the pancreatic cancer immunotherapy field have increased almost annually. As the country with the largest publications, the United States has various research institutions dedicated to pancreatic cancer immunotherapy. Jaffee EM and Zheng L from Johns Hopkins University and Vonderheide RH from the University of Pennsylvania have published the most articles in this field. The current research hotspots of pancreatic cancer immunotherapy include the tumor microenvironment, immune cells, immune checkpoint blockade, and combination therapy. The study of novel immunotherapies and combination therapy may become the primary focus of future research on pancreatic cancer immunotherapy. More prospective clinical studies with high evidence levels should be conducted.

Project description:BackgroundAs a malignant digestive system tumor, pancreatic cancer has unique metabolic characteristics. In recent years, the study of pancreatic cancer metabolism is in full swing, which provides a new direction for the treatment of pancreatic cancer patients. However, there is no systematic report of pancreatic cancer metabolism. In this paper, bibliometrics and visualization methods were used to analyze the number of publications, countries/regions, authors, institutions, journals, co-cited references, and keywords of pancreatic cancer metabolism articles, to summarize the research trends and predict research hotspots.MethodsWe searched, screened and downloaded articles on pancreatic cancer metabolism through the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Using CiteSpace, VOSviewer and Bibliometrix Package to analyze publications, countries/regions, authors, institutions, journals, co-cited references, and keywords of pancreatic cancer metabolism to identify research trends and predict research hotspots.ResultsAccording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 5,255 articles were retrieved during the period 1943-2022. The number of publications on pancreatic cancer metabolism is increasing year by year. The United States (n=1602, 30.49%), China (n=1074, 20.44%), and Italy (n=313, 5.96%) are the three countries with the largest number of publications and citations, and there is close cooperation between countries. LI J (n=55) is the most prolific author. FUDAN UNIV (n=348) is the most published institution. CANCERS (n=118), PLOS ONE (n=93), and CANCER RESEARCH (n=80) are the most popular journals in this field. "Nutriment-deficient environment", "cancer chemoprevention" and "targeting cancer stem cell" are the main areas of focus. "immunotherapy", "ferroptosis" and "targeted therapy" are hot keywords in recent years. Taking pancreatic cancer metabolism as an entry point to study the role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) mainly focuses on curcumin and resveratrol, lack of broader and deeper research on TCM.ConclusionsThe number of publications on pancreatic cancer metabolism has generally increased, and scholars have generally paid more attention to this field. "immunotherapy", "ferroptosis" and "targeted therapy" are the current research hotspots. The in-depth study of pancreatic cancer metabolism will provide new ideas for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Project description:BackgroundGlioma is a prevalent and lethal brain malignancy; despite current treatment options, the prognosis remains poor. Therefore, immunotherapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. However, research trends and hotspots in glioma immunotherapy have not been systematically analyzed. This study aimed to elucidate global research trends and knowledge structures regarding immunotherapy for glioma using bibliometric analysis.MethodsPublications related to immunotherapy for glioma from 2000-2023 were retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection database (WoSCC). We conducted quantitative analysis and visualization of research trends using various tools, including VOSviewer (1.6.18), CiteSpace (5.7 R3), Microsoft Charticulator, and the Bibliometrix package in R.ResultsA total of 4910 publications were included. The number of annual publications exhibited an obvious upward trend since 2019. The USA was the dominant country in terms of publication output and centrality. Frontiers in Immunology published the most articles. Harvard Medical School ranked first in productivity among institutions. Sampson, John H. Ph.D. is the most prolific author in the field with 88 articles and a total of 7055 citations. Clinical Cancer Research has the largest total number and impact factor. Analysis of keywords showed immunotherapy, glioblastoma, immunotherapy, and clinical trials as hot topics. The tumor microenvironment, cell death pathways, chimeric antigen receptor engineering, tumor-associated macrophages, and nivolumab treatment represent indicating shifts in the direction of future glioma immunotherapy development.ConclusionThis bibliometric analysis systematically delineated global landscapes and emerging trends in glioma immunotherapy research. This study highlighted the prominence of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T), Programmed Death-1 (PD-1), and nivolumab in current glioma immunotherapy research. The growing emphasis on specific neoantigens and prognostic tumor markers suggests potential avenues for future exploration. Furthermore, the data underscores the importance of strengthened international collaboration in advancing the field.
