Abstract
Background: Healthcare system costs associated with bladder cancer treatment are among the highest of curable malignancies, and prognosis in advanced disease remains poor. This scoping review examines the worldwide status of bladder cancer research by systematically mapping publications, exploring research topics, support, gaps and limitations that need to be addressed.
Methods: We searched the Web of Science database for publications using controlled vocabulary. Results were limited between 2000-2020, and were included in our study based on pre-specified eligibility criteria. Data used for analysis included author's names, country of affiliation, language, journal, citations, and funding. Analysis was conducted using Biblioshiny R and SPSS. Research topics were identified according to sub-filters of title words and strings pre-determined by authors.
Results: 40,657 results were retrieved, of which 19,976 original articles and reviews met the pre-specified criteria. 92% of the publications originated from 20 countries and were included in the analysis. Trends show an increase across the world, most of which is due to increasing contributions from USA and China. An increase by 1000% in funded publications has been achieved. Studies focused on Surgery, Pathology, and Diagnosis, while Radiotherapy, Palliative care, quality of life and Epidemiology were the least described. Genetics had the most increase while being the most funded. GDP, incidence, prevalence and mortality were each significantly positively correlated with overall bladder cancer research output.
Conclusion: This review described the evolution of bladder cancer research. It also identified significant gaps and limitations that need to be highlighted as priority areas for research investment.
背景:与膀胱癌治疗相关的医疗保健系统费用是可治愈的恶性肿瘤中最高的，并且晚期疾病的预后仍然很差。通过系统地绘制出版物、探索研究主题、支持、差距和需要解决的限制，本综述审查了膀胱癌研究的全球现状。方法:检索Web of Science数据库中使用控制词汇的出版物。结果限定在2000-2020年之间，并根据预先指定的资格标准纳入我们的研究。用于分析的数据包括作者姓名、所属国家、语言、期刊、引文和资助。采用Biblioshiny R和SPSS进行分析。根据作者预先确定的标题词和字符串的子过滤器识别研究主题。结果:检索到40,657个结果，其中19,976篇原创文章和综述符合预设标准。92%的出版物来自20个国家，并被纳入分析。趋势显示全球范围内的增长，其中大部分是由于美国和中国的贡献增加。获得资助的出版物增加了1000%。研究集中于手术、病理和诊断，而放疗、姑息治疗、生活质量和流行病学的描述最少。遗传学的增长幅度最大，同时也获得了最多的资助。GDP、发病率、患病率和死亡率均与膀胱癌总体研究成果呈显著正相关。结论:本文综述了膀胱癌的研究进展。它还确定了需要强调的重大差距和限制，作为研究投资的优先领域。
期刊介绍：
The Arab Journal of Urology is a peer-reviewed journal that strives to provide a high standard of research and clinical material to the widest possible urological community worldwide. The journal encompasses all aspects of urology including: urological oncology, urological reconstructive surgery, urodynamics, female urology, pediatric urology, endourology, transplantation, erectile dysfunction, and urinary infections and inflammations. The journal provides reviews, original articles, editorials, surgical techniques, cases reports and correspondence. Urologists, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and scientists are invited to submit their contributions to make the Arab Journal of Urology a viable international forum for the practical, timely and state-of-the-art clinical urology and basic urological research.
