Abstract

Bibliometric analyses are increasing in the field of gastric cancer. This letter discusses a recently published analysis that focused on the bidirectional relationship between depression and gastric cancer and evaluated the types of papers published in this field and the changes in the direction of research. There is an increasing need for new, clinically relevant studies of this association.

Keywords: Bibliometric analysis; Depression; Epidemiology; Gastric cancer; Quality of life.

Output curve of the bibliometric analysis of gastric cancer in MEDLINE. The graph used “bibliometric analysis AND gastric cancer” as search operators on December 17, 2023, without additional filters. As can be seen, from 2008 to the present day, there was an increase in scientific production. The graph was created with GraphPad PRISM.
