Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the development trends and research hotspots in clinical testing for multiple myeloma from 2000 to 2023, using bibliometric techniques.

Method: Search for relevant literature on clinical testing of multiple myeloma published in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) from 2000 to 2023, and use CiteSpace 6.2.R4 software to draw a visual knowledge map of authors, research institutions, national and regional cooperation networks, journals, and keywords, and conduct bibliometric analysis.

Results: The study found an upward trend in publications over the specified period, with significant growth noted from 2012 onwards. The majority of research originates from the United States, with significant contributions from institutions like the Mayo Clinic and MD Anderson Cancer Center. Analysis of author collaboration networks indicated relatively low centrality, suggesting minimal collaboration among researchers. Bibliometric mapping highlighted several hotspots in the field including therapeutic strategies involving proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs, the role of stem cell transplantation, and the importance of achieving and monitoring minimal residual disease.

Conclusion: The field of clinical testing for multiple myeloma is characterized by a growing body of research, with significant contributions from the United States. Despite the increasing volume of research, there is a need for enhanced collaboration among researchers and institutions to consolidate findings and advance clinical practice.
