Résumé

We performed a bibliometric study to identify the most-cited publications in MTC research and demonstrate how they highlight the most important historical developments in this area. Bibliometric data from papers published on the topic of MTC until December 31, 2022 was extracted from the Web of Science database. Analysis was performed utilizing Bibliometrix and VOSViewer software. There has been a gradual increase in the number of publications on the topic of MTC over the years. The most cited publications focused on the underlying genetic basis for MTC, the use of targetted therapy, and guidelines. Recent research frontiers have focused on management, guidelines, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Bibliometric study of the topic of MTC has allowed for identification, characterization and appreciation of many of the key historical developments in this field. Bibliometric analysis can also be helpful in identifying research frontiers.
