Abstract:

Objective

Based on bibliometric methods, a visualized analysis of research related to ferroptosis in colorectal cancer was conducted to explore the research hotspots and development trends in this field from 2017 to 2024.

Methods

Relevant literature published from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2024 in the Web of Science Core Collection, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and VIP databases were retrieved. The publication volume, countries, institutions, journals, and keywords were visualized by CiteSpace 6.4.R1 and Microsoft Excel 2016. Co-occurrence and clustering analysis of keywords were also performed.

Results

A total of 739 articles were included, with 598 in English and 141 in Chinese. The analysis results showed that the number of papers published from 2017 to 2019 was relatively low, but the number has increased since 2020. Globally, China is the country with the most papers published,Fudan University is the institution with the highest number of papers published, and Frontiers in Oncology is the journal that publishes the most such studies. Co-occurrence and clustering analysis of keywords identified four core research themes: the molecular mechanisms and metabolic regulation of ferroptosis, the expression and signaling pathway regulation of ferroptosis-related genes, ferroptosis and tumor immune regulation, and clinical therapeutic strategies and interventions based on ferroptosis. Keyword emergence analysis showed that ferroptosis regulation mechanism and metabolic regulation are continuous research hotspots in this field. In recent years, the research focus has gradually shifted to clinical applications, with particular attention paid to the research on endoplasmic reticulum stress, stem cell technology, photodynamic therapy, and inflammatory response.

Conclusion

The research on ferroptosis in colorectal cancer is in a rapid development stage, the exploration of the mechanism of ferroptosis in colorectal cancer and its clinical application are current research hotspots and emerging research directions.
