Gliomas are the most common primary malignant tumor of the central nervous system. At the present time, radiotherapy (RT) is the cornerstone of therapeutic approaches, but the worldwide research trends in RT for gliomas in the world are unclear. This bibliometric analysis aimed to investigate trends in glioma RT research since 2011.
The Web of Science database was searched, and SigmaPlot 14.0 and VOSviewer software were used to analyze and visualize the trends.
Bibliometric analysis of 5106 articles was conducted. While the number of publications per year was relatively steady, the number of citations grew exponentially from 356 in 2011 to 21,051 in 2020. Articles originated from 89 countries, with the majority from the United States. Journal of Neuro-Oncology and Texas A&M University were the journal and institution, respectively, with the highest number of publications. The articles mainly involved oncology, neurology, radiology, and surgery.
This bibliometric analysis found an increased focus on glioblastoma, survival, and chemotherapy in glioma RT research.
神经胶质瘤是中枢神经系统最常见的原发性恶性肿瘤。目前，放射治疗（RT）是治疗方法的基石，但全球神经胶质瘤 RT 的研究趋势尚不清楚。本研究旨在调查自 2011 年以来神经胶质瘤 RT 研究的趋势。
在 Web of Science 数据库中进行了文献计量分析，并使用 SigmaPlot 14.0 和 VOSviewer 软件对趋势进行了分析和可视化。
对 5106 篇文章进行了文献计量分析。虽然每年发表的文章数量相对稳定，但引用数量从 2011 年的 356 个呈指数增长到 2020 年的 21051 个。文章来源于 89 个国家，其中大多数来自美国。《神经肿瘤学杂志》和德克萨斯 A&M 大学分别是发表文章数量最多的期刊和机构。文章主要涉及肿瘤学、神经病学、放射学和外科学。
本研究发现，神经胶质瘤 RT 研究越来越关注胶质母细胞瘤、生存和化疗。
