286. A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF NEOADJUVANT THERAPY FOR ESOPHAGEAL CANCER

Abstract

The study aims to summarize publication characteristics of neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal cancer and create scientific maps to explore hotspots and emerging trends with bibliometric methods. The publications between 2013 and 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) on March 4, 2023. Bibliometric tools including VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used for statistical analysis. Data on the trend of the annual output, countries/regions, institutions, journals, authors, subject categories, keywords, and co-cited references were presented in this study. A total of 1713 publications written by 9222 authors of 1696 institutions, 49 countries/regions in 287 journals were included in the bibliometric study. China was the most prolific country with 414 publications, and The United States was the country that cooperated most with other countries. Doki, yuichiro, van Hagen, p, annals of surgical oncology, j clin oncol, and sun yat sen univ were the top 1 productive author, co-cited author, productive journal, co-cited journal, and prolific institution, respectively. The top 4 most present keywords were esophageal cancer, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and chemotherapy. Furthermore, the clinical research hotspots involved in the immunotherapy of ESCC have received the most attention in recent years. This study visually analyzed the development status and scientific trend of neoadjuvant therapy for esophageal cancer over the past decade. The results could guide scientists to comprehensively understand the existing research and determine future directions. Web of Science (WOS); esophageal cancer; bibliometric analysis.
