Abstract

Background: Approximately 1,000,000 cases and 769,000 deaths from gastric cancer (GC) occurred in 2020, making it the fourth most prevalent reason for cancer-related fatalities. The objective of this study was to examine the use of radiation therapy (RT) and chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in GC using a quantitative and scientometric method.

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in the Scopus database for articles on RT and CRT in GC from 2014 to 2023. We utilized the VOSviewer tool for a scientometric analysis covering various aspects such as countries, institutions, authors, journals, references, and keywords.

Results: The study incorporated 15,036 articles related to the subject. China emerged as the top contributor, with the United States and Japan following. A significant positive correlation was found between the article output of countries on RT and CRT in GC and gross domestic product (GDP) and total wealth index, with correlation coefficients of 0.749 and 0.6921, respectively (P < 0.001). The forefront of institutional contribution was marked by the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. J.A. Ajani from the USA stands out as the most prolific author in this field, having published 112 articles. The leading journal was Frontiers in Oncology, and the most cited article in this domain was authored by Smyth, E.C., in 2020, in The Lancet. Author keywords revealed 6 clusters, with "Esophageal cancer" (655 mentions) and "Gastric cancer" (379 mentions) being the most prevalent.

Conclusion: This pioneering scientometric study provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on RT and CRT about GC, evaluating the scholarly output in this field over the past decade. It can be concluded that this research topic has gained significant attention since 2016. While international collaborations are taking place worldwide, there is a need for more support and the expansion of research on RT and CRT in GC, especially in less developed countries. This study provides support to healthcare practitioners, researchers, and surgical aides regarding the global outcomes of RT and CRT in GC investigations.

胃癌放化疗进展(2014-2023):科学计量学方法。
背景:2020年约有100万例胃癌(GC)病例和76.9万例死亡,使其成为癌症相关死亡的第四大常见原因。本研究的目的是用定量和科学计量的方法检查放射治疗(RT)和放化疗(CRT)在GC中的应用。方法:在Scopus数据库中全面检索2014 - 2023年《GC》中RT和CRT相关的文章。我们利用VOSviewer工具进行科学计量学分析,涵盖国家、机构、作者、期刊、参考文献和关键字等各个方面。结果:该研究纳入了15036篇与该主题相关的文章。中国成为最大的贡献国,美国和日本紧随其后。GC中RT和CRT国家的文章产出与国内生产总值(GDP)和总财富指数呈显著正相关,相关系数分别为0.749和0.6921 (P < 0.001)。德克萨斯大学MD安德森癌症中心在机构贡献方面处于领先地位。来自美国的J.A.阿贾尼是该领域最多产的作者,发表了112篇文章。领先的期刊是《肿瘤学前沿》(Frontiers in Oncology),该领域被引用最多的文章是由Smyth, e.c.于2020年在《柳叶刀》(The Lancet)上发表的。作者关键词有6个聚类,其中“食管癌”(655次)和“胃癌”(379次)被提及最多。结论:这项开创性的科学计量学研究全面概述了GC的RT和CRT研究现状,评估了过去十年该领域的学术成果。可以看出,自2016年以来,这个研究课题得到了很大的关注。虽然世界范围内正在开展国际合作,但需要更多的支持和扩大GC中RT和CRT的研究,特别是在欠发达国家。本研究为医疗从业者、研究人员和外科助手提供了关于GC调查中RT和CRT的总体结果的支持。
