AI's Promise in Cholangiocarcinoma Research: Unleashing New Potential

Published Date::04/10/2024

A comprehensive analysis of research trends and hotspots in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) reveals a significant shift towards AI-driven diagnosis and treatment decision-making.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a type of cancer that affects the bile ducts. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in CCA research. To analyze the research hotspots and potential of AI in CCA, a comprehensive search of publications on the application of AI in CCA from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2023, was conducted. 

The search was limited to the Web of Science Core Collection, and citation information was extracted using CiteSpace 6.2.R6. The results showed that a total of 736 publications were included in the study. Early research primarily focused on traditional treatment methods and care strategies for CCA, but since 2019, there has been a significant shift towards the development and optimization of AI algorithms and their application in early cancer diagnosis and treatment decision-making. 

China emerged as the country with the highest volume of publications, while Khon Kaen University in Thailand was the academic institution with the highest number of publications. A core group of authors involved in a dense network of international collaboration was identified. HEPATOLOGY was found to be the most influential journal in the field. The disciplinary development pattern in this domain exhibits the characteristic of multiple disciplines intersecting and integrating. 

The current research hotspots primarily revolve around three directions  AI in the diagnosis and classification of CCA, AI in the preoperative assessment of cancer metastasis risk in CCA, and AI in the prediction of postoperative recurrence in CCA. The complementarity and interdependence among different AI applications will facilitate future applications of AI in the CCA field.
