Research trends and emerging frontiers of tumor-associated macrophages in gastric cancer: a bibliometric analysis

This bibliometric analysis highlights the rapid expansion of research on TAMs in GC, with key research areas including molecular mechanisms underlying TAM functionality, TAM-mediated metastatic processes in GC, therapeutic interventions targeting TAMs, and determinants of TAM polarization. The emerging frontier emphasizes reprogramming of TAM polarization from M2 into M1 combined with rRT, marking a significant area of focus for future investigations.
