Abstract

In the realm of oncology, prostate cancer holds a significant position, particularly within the male population. At its core, science mapping leverages advanced data analysis techniques and visual representation tools to construct maps of scientific fields. This study aims to analyze the 40-year dynamics of prostate cancer with the science mapping method. Our study covers the period 1983-2022. Our study uses the Web of Science database for literature reviews and bibliometric analyses. The obtained data were filtered and classified. Ultimately, a 40-year analysis was conducted with 8,692 articles. The articles were examined in two sections. The first section involved performance analysis, and the second encompassed structural analysis—a comprehensive analysis encompassing 8,692 documents. The apex of article publication was achieved in 2021 with 519 articles, while the zenith of citation frequency was attained in 2017. The United States possesses the highest total number of publications. Scardino PT ranks first in both h and g indices. In Prostate Cancer research, the prominent journal is the Journal of Urology
