RESUMO
Objective:To investigate the research status and development trend of radiotherapy for lung cancer in recent 10 years through the bibliometric analysis of relevant literature.Methods:Taking the core collection of Web of Science as the data source, combined with the visualization function of Cite Space software, bibliometric methods were adopted to analyze the literature publication, distribution of journals, authors, institutions and countries, the literature co-citation, keyword co-occurrence and clustering of the lung cancer radiotherapy research from 2010 to 2019.Results:In recent 10 years, the amount of literature published in this field has been on the rise year by year. International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics was the journal with the largest number of publications. The authors and organizations with the most articles were all from the United States. Stereotactic radiotherapy has become a research hot spot in this field, and the combination of immunotherapy and stereotactic radiotherapy may become a novel development trend in the future. Conclusions:In the past 10 years, the research on radiotherapy has been developing steadily at home and abroad, forming a certain research direction and development trend. Some core institutions and core authors have appeared. However, international exchange and cooperation remain to be strengthened probably due to the unbalanced development of global radiotherapy technology.
