In the Web of Science database, the subjects of breast cancer and nursing were selected, and a total of 2,734 articles published in the last decade were reviewed. Results There was an increase in the number of publications after 2014. The United States had the highest level of country collaborations and the highest degree of centrality. The most densely researched topic in the largest subject cluster was breast cancer. The most commonly used keywords were breast cancer, quality of life and women. Conclusion Breast cancer research in the field of nursing has increased in the last decade, and the United States ranked first in terms of publications in this nursing field.This publication has 32 references indexed in Scilit:
