Global research trends and hotspots in human immunodeficiency virus-associated cervical cancer (1990–2025): a multi-database bibliometric analysis
To map the global research landscape, identify leading contributors and collaborative networks, and delineate the knowledge base and emerging research priorities in HIV-associated cervical cancer through bibliometric analysis, with a focus on molecular and immunological mechanisms.
Approach:
Key Findings:
Research output has increased steadily, led by the United States, followed by China, South Africa, India, and the United Kingdom.
The most productive journals include the International Journal of Cancer and AIDS, which are also among the most frequently cited.
The seminal reference is 'Cancer-related Inflammation.'
Emerging research frontiers focus on cervical cancer screening, WLWH, HPV vaccination, and deep learning.
Interpretation:
Future directions will likely emphasize lifecycle vaccination strategies for WLWH, precision therapies guided by the immune microenvironment, and scalable screening approaches for low-resource settings.
Limitations:
The study is limited to English-language articles and reviews.
Research resources are unevenly distributed, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
Conclusion:
The findings provide evidence-based insights to inform global health policy and accelerate cervical cancer elimination efforts.
