Abstract

There are still many unknowns about the classification, diagnosis, and treatment of pineal tumors. The aim of this study was to review the accumulated knowledge of pineal tumors to guide future research. Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection was used to access the articles, and the Vosviewer package program was used for visualizations. The results showed that, between 1970 and December 2022, the WoS database indexed 1103 publications and 668 articles on pineal tumors. 92,365% of the articles were published in journals within the scope of the Science Citation Index Expanded. 798 institutions and 2,841 authors contributed to the pineal tumors literature. The most important contributions to the literature on pineal tumors were made by institutions in France and the United States. The majority of the articles were from the USA (n=190, 28.443%), Japan (n=111, 16.617%), and France (n=62, 9.281%). The number of articles were irregular in each per year. However, more citations have been made, especially since 2010. In this study, the studies on pineal tumors in the world were examined and the main underlied issues were tried to be emphasized. In addition, it has been observed that the scientific and industrial sectors should cooperate in order to increase the allocated resources for multidisciplinary researches.
