Therefore, the identification and detection of precancerous lesions of gastric cancer (PLGC) are essential for its prevention. We performed a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to explore the research trends and emerging topics in this field, aiming to deepen our understanding of PLGC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study utilizes a bibliometric approach with network analysis to explore the progress and trends in PLGC research.
