Abstract
Immunity has vital research value and promising applications in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Nevertheless, few bibliometric analyses have systematically investigated this area. This study aimed to comprehensively review the collaboration and impact of countries, institutions, authors, and journals on the role of immunity in TNBC from a bibliometric perspective, evaluate the keyword co-occurrence of the knowledge structure, and identify hot trends and emerging topics. Articles and reviews related to immunity in TNBC were retrieved from the Web of Science core collection using subject search. A bibliometric study was conducted primarily using CiteSpace and VOSviewer. A total of 3,104 articles and reviews were included from January 1, 2014, through December 31, 2024. The number of articles on immunization in TNBC is rising. These publications are mainly from 415 institutions in 82 countries, led by China and the USA. Among these publications, Lajos Pusztai published the most papers, while Peter Schmid was co-cited the most. The most productive journals focused on molecular biology, biological immunology, and clinical medicine. Furthermore, co-citation analysis revealed that tumor microenvironment, biomarkers, and immune checkpoint inhibitors are current and developing research areas. The keywords "immunotherapy" and "nanoparticles" are also likely to be new trends and focal points for future research. This study adopted bibliometric and visualization methods to provide a comprehensive review of the research on immunization in TNBC. This article will help researchers better understand the dynamic evolution of the role of immunity in TNBC and identify areas for future research.
免疫在三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)中具有重要的研究价值和前景。然而,很少有文献计量学分析系统地调查了这一领域。本研究旨在从文献计量学角度全面回顾国家、机构、作者和期刊在TNBC免疫作用方面的合作与影响,评估知识结构的关键词共现性,识别热点趋势和新兴课题。使用主题搜索从Web of Science核心馆藏中检索与TNBC免疫相关的文章和综述。文献计量学研究主要使用CiteSpace和VOSviewer进行。从2014年1月1日到2024年12月31日,共有3104篇文章和评论被纳入。TNBC中关于免疫的文章数量正在增加。这些出版物主要来自82个国家的415个机构,以中国和美国为首。在这些出版物中,Lajos Pusztai发表的论文最多,Peter Schmid被共同引用的次数最多。最多产的期刊集中于分子生物学、生物免疫学和临床医学。此外,共引分析显示,肿瘤微环境、生物标志物和免疫检查点抑制剂是当前和发展中的研究领域。关键词“免疫治疗”和“纳米粒子”也可能成为未来研究的新趋势和焦点。本研究采用文献计量学和可视化方法,对TNBC免疫研究进行了全面综述。本文将有助于研究人员更好地了解免疫在TNBC中作用的动态演变,并确定未来研究的领域。
期刊介绍:
(formerly Human Vaccines; issn 1554-8619)
Vaccine research and development is extending its reach beyond the prevention of bacterial or viral diseases. There are experimental vaccines for immunotherapeutic purposes and for applications outside of infectious diseases, in diverse fields such as cancer, autoimmunity, allergy, Alzheimer’s and addiction. Many of these vaccines and immunotherapeutics should become available in the next two decades, with consequent benefit for human health. Continued advancement in this field will benefit from a forum that can (A) help to promote interest by keeping investigators updated, and (B) enable an exchange of ideas regarding the latest progress in the many topics pertaining to vaccines and immunotherapeutics.
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics provides such a forum. It is published monthly in a format that is accessible to a wide international audience in the academic, industrial and public sectors.
