Background:
Bevacizumab is a primary focus in the clinical application and research of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. This study aims to analyze publications on bevacizumab and CRC to explore and identify the trends and frontiers of this field.
Methods:
We collected 4,164 articles on bevacizumab and CRC from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). CiteSpace, VOSviewer, R-bibliometrix, and Microsoft Excel were utilized for analysis and visualization.
Results:
The United States, Japan, and China are the leading countries in this field. The National Cancer Institute and the University of Pisa share the top position for the highest number of publications. Personalized therapy, innovative combination treatments, mechanisms of resistance, and new drug development are enduring focal points and future research directions.
Conclusions:
This study provides the first bibliometric analysis of research on bevacizumab and CRC, revealing the current status and future directions of this field.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
