Abstract

Background

Recent years have seen the use of photodynamic technologies concerning the detection and therapy of bladder cancer (BC) due to their rapid development and well-established therapeutic impact. However, a thorough analysis and bibliometric assessment of photodynamic technologies publishing trends in BC has not been completed yet.

Methods

Retrieving bibliographies from the Web of Science Core Collection limited the publication date to December 31, 2023, from January 1, 2004. We used VOSviewer (Version 1.6.19) and CiteSpace (Version 6.4 R1) for both statistical and visualization analysis.

Results

We selected a total of 870 documents for analysis. The yearly publication findings show notable upward patterns over the last two decades. The Kochi Medical School in Japan was the most productive school, while the USA was the most productive nation. Japanese researcher Inoue Keiji published the highest number of photodynamic -related articles in BC. The most quoted and prolific journals were the Photodynamic Therapy and Photodiagnosis. According to the keyword analysis, the terms "cystoscopy," "carcinoma in situ," "drug delivery," "follow-up," "hexaminolevulinate," and "impact" are all relatively recent and hot field.

Conclusions

Our investigation produced a bibliometric outcome for the field, potentially opening up new research opportunities. We suggest that future research concentrate on in-situ carcinoma identification, photosensitizer invention, medication delivery enhancement, and photodynamic technology follow-up in BC.

膀胱癌光动力学研究的文献计量学分析：趋势和未来方向。

背景：近年来，由于光动力学技术的快速发展和良好的治疗效果，在膀胱癌（BC）的检测和治疗中得到了广泛的应用。然而，对BC省光动力技术出版趋势的全面分析和文献计量学评估尚未完成。方法：从Web of Science Core Collection中检索文献，限定出版日期为2023年12月31日，从2004年1月1日开始。我们使用VOSviewer （Version 1.6.19）和CiteSpace （Version 6.4 R1）进行统计和可视化分析。结果：共选取870篇文献进行分析。年度出版物的调查结果显示，在过去的二十年中，有明显的上升趋势。日本的高知医学院是生产力最高的学校，而美国是生产力最高的国家。日本研究员Inoue Keiji在BC省发表了最多的光动力学相关文章。引用最多和最多产的期刊是《光动力治疗》和《光诊断》。根据关键词分析，“膀胱镜检查”、“原位癌”、“给药”、“随访”、“六检精乙酰酸酯”、“影响”等词汇都是相对较新的热点领域。结论：我们的调查产生了该领域的文献计量结果，潜在地开辟了新的研究机会。我们建议未来的研究集中在原位癌的识别、光敏剂的发明、药物传递增强和光动力技术的随访。
