A Global Bibliometric Mapping of Female Breast Cancer Mortality Research (2015–2024): Trends, Collaboration Networks, and Emerging Scientific Priorities

Öz

Objective: Female breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy worldwide and a major cause of cancer-related mortality among women. Despite its global impact, no study has systematically examined the scientific landscape specifically focused on breast cancer mortality. Mapping research output, collaboration patterns, thematic structures, and citation influence is essential for identifying knowledge gaps and guiding efforts to reduce mortality. Materials and Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection (SCIE, SSCI, and ESCI). Publications were retrieved on January 5, 2025 using the terms “female” and “breast” and “cancer” and “mortality” limited to English-language original research published between 2015 and 2024. After screening, 1,157 articles were included. Performance metrics, citation indicators, country and institutional productivity, co-authorship networks, co-citation patterns, and keyword co-occurrence structures were analyzed with VOSviewer. Results: Research output increased until 2019 before declining, while citation activity rose steadily throughout the decade. The United States led global productivity and citation impact, with notable contributions from China, India, and the United Kingdom, whereas France showed exceptional citation influence relative to its output. Influential authors (e.g., Jemal, Siegel, Ferlay, Bray) and major institutions such as Harvard University, the NIH, the University of California System, and the American Cancer Society shaped the field’s intellectual foundation. Keyword analysis revealed central thematic clusters focused on mortality, epidemiology, incidence, survival, and screening. Conclusion: This study presents the first global bibliometric mapping of breast cancer mortality research, revealing substantial geographic inequalities and underscoring the need for improved collaboration and equity-focused strategies to reduce mortality worldwide.
