Abstract
Breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer in women and has a significant economic impact worldwide. Consequently, there is a need to analyze the disease's research trend academically to determine the breast cancer publishing trend based on a certain period of its collection properties. Bibliometric analysis is used to examine the research trend in breast cancer care through time using various data. Several tools, including the PRISMA flow diagram, Microsoft Excel for frequency analysis, Harzing's Publish or Perish for citation metrics and other pertinent analyses, and VOSviewer for image visualization and bibliometric networks, were used to study this article. Using the TITLE search strategy and the Scopus database, 3,532 articles were located. It was discovered that the trends in research publications rose steadily from one year to the next. Between 1932 and 2021, 3,532 publications will be produced with a total of 61,274 citations, which breaks down to 688.47 citations per year, 17.35 citations per cited paper, and 4.02 citations per author. The United States, Italy, and the United Kingdom have produced the most co-authored works in this discipline. Even though the annual incidence rate of breast cancer remains high, these findings appear promising for determining the most effective treatments, procedures, and management strategies. The guideline standard requires further attention at a higher level.
