20.500.12556/RUL-172681 The financial toxicity of breast cancer a systematic mapping of the literature and identification of research challenges Background - Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers, increasingly prevalent also among working-age populations. Regardless of age, breast cancer has significant direct and indirect costs on the individuals, families and society. The aim of the research was to provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the financial toxicity of breast cancer, to identify research voids and future research challenges. Materials and methods - The systematic mapping of literature relied on a multi-method approach, combining bibliometric methods with a standard review/discussion of most important contributions. The analysis employed Bibliometrics in R and VosViewer. Results - The results highlighted the key authors, journals and research topics in the investigation of the financial toxic- ity of cancer and stressed the concentration of work around several authors and journals. Conclusions -The results also revealed a lack of a comprehensive approach in the study of financial toxicity, as the literature often focuses on one or few selected aspects of financial toxicity. In addition, geographic coverage is un- even and differences in the healthcare systems represent a challenge to straightforward comparisons. health services financing literature review breast cancer financial toxicity bibliometric analysis zdravstvo financiranje pregled literature true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-09-10 15:21:07 2025-09-10 15:21:11 2025-09-11 04:36:03 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 31-42 iss. 1 Vol. 59 Mar. 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 614 1318-2099 10.2478/raon-2025-0002 221121539 The-financial-toxicity-of-breast-cancer-a-systematic-mapping-of-the-literature-and-identification-of-research-challenges.pdf The-financial-toxicity-of-breast-cancer-a-systematic-mapping-of-the-literature-and-identification-of-research-challenges.pdf 1 CF4CD18C96129DE827BB0A1C5DC25942 1bb365c9e0d343973e8368027465e1d2da350dcdb4066be7f81805bdb92102d8 402b04d8-8e49-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=216689 https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/raon-2025-0002 0 47825200-8e49-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=216690 Ekonomska fakulteta Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
