Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to identify and analyze articles published between 2020 and 2024 that addressed "breast cancer" and "gene expression" by examining publication trends, citation patterns, prominent journals, contributing countries, and evolving research topics within the field. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted on articles related to "breast cancer" and "gene expression" that were published between 2020 and 2024 and indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database. The analysis included metrics such as the most cited articles, citation frequency, publication trends over time, countries with the highest publications and citations, leading authors, co-occurrence of author keywords, and the most frequently cited sources. Results: A total of 5,095 articles were identified. The highest number of publications was recorded in 2020, followed by a gradual decline toward 2024. A substantial portion of the publications originated from China and the United States of America. Most articles were published in high-impact journals and received a high number of citations. The research predominantly focused on gene expression in the context of treatment strategies and pathogenic mechanisms in breast cancer. Conclus3on: This bibliometric analysis demonstrated an active and evolving research landscape in the field of breast cancer and gene expression from 2020 to 2024. The findings underscore the emphasis on elucidating pathophysiological mechanisms and investigating therapeutic approaches. These results offer valuable insights for guiding future research directions.
