Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in the world, and most patients require a mastectomy. Women who have undergone mastectomy often suffer from breast loss that seriously affects their daily life, and breast reconstruction is not only beneficial to patient's quick recovery after surgery, but also their mental health. So, in recent years, more and more female breast cancer patients are receiving breast reconstruction surgery. We aim to map hot trends in breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer and provide directions for future research.
We screened all literature (2011-2021) on breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer from The Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and analyzed research trends in this field using Vosviewer and CiteSpace.
Based on the search results, a total of 3404 articles related to breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer were screened. The US (n = 1371) is the country with the highest number of articles, followed by Italy (n = 282) and the UK (n = 277). Harvard University (n = 183) was the institution with the highest number of publications, followed by the University of Texas (n = 141) and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (n = 136). Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is the most published journal in the field. Pusic AL is the most published author in the field, while Matros E is the most cited author on average. Cluster analysis showed that breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer is a hot topic of research by scholars, and more and more experts recommend breast reconstruction for breast cancer patients.
This study comprehensively summarizes and analyzes global research trends in breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer. In the past 10 years, there has been a significant increase in relevant high-quality publications in this field, and the field of breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer has a promising future.
