A bibliometric analysis of sentinel lymph node biopsy in melanoma of the top 90 cited publications

BACKGROUND: This bibliometric analysis aims to describe research trends and assess the methodological quality of the highest-impact SLNB research in melanoma. METHODS: We identified the 90 most cited publications on SLNB in melanoma using Web of Science, covering all available journal years (from 2005 to date). The Oxford Center for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) Levels of Evidence (LOE) were used to assess the methodological quality of each study. RESULTS: published most articles. CONCLUSIONS: This bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive overview and valuable reference for future researchers in the field of SLNB in melanoma.
