Esophageal cancer (EC) is a malignant tumour with high morbidity and mortality rates. Recent studies have shown that much progress has been made in the research of radiotherapy in EC. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the knowledge structure and research hotspots of radiotherapy in EC through bibliometrics. Publications related to radiotherapy in EC from 2014 to 2023 were searched on the web of science core collection database. VOSviewers, CiteSpace and R package 'bibliometrix' were used to conduct this bibliometric analysis. In total, 4258 articles from 76 countries led by China and the USA were included. The Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences-Peking Union Medical College has the highest number of publications. International Journal of Radiation Oncology Biology Physics is the most popular journal and also the most co-cited journal in this field. These publications come from 21 972 authors among which Liao Zhongxing had published the most papers and Cooper JS was co-cited most often. Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and strategies based on it are the main topics in this research field. 'IMRT' and 'immunotherapy' are the primary keywords of emerging research hotspots. This is a bibliometric study that comprehensively summarizes the research trends and developments of radiotherapy in EC. This information identifies recent research frontiers and hot directions, which will provide a reference for scholars studying radiotherapy in EC.
食管癌(EC)是一种发病率和死亡率都很高的恶性肿瘤。最近的研究表明,在 EC 的放射治疗研究方面已经取得了很大进展。本研究旨在通过文献计量学方法,全面概述 EC 放射治疗的知识结构和研究热点。在 web of science 核心合集数据库中检索了 2014 年至 2023 年与 EC 放射治疗相关的出版物。使用 Vosviewer、Citespace 和 R 包“bibliometrix”进行了这项文献计量分析。共纳入来自 76 个国家的 4258 篇文章,以中国和美国为首。中国医学科学院-北京协和医学院发表的文章数量最多。《国际肿瘤放射生物学与物理学杂志》是该领域最受欢迎的期刊,也是被引频次最高的期刊。这些出版物来自 21972 位作者,其中廖忠星发表的论文最多,Cooper JS 的被引频次最高。新辅助放化疗及其策略是该研究领域的主要主题。“调强放疗”和“免疫治疗”是新兴研究热点的主要关键词。这是一项全面总结 EC 放射治疗研究趋势和发展的文献计量学研究。这些信息确定了最近的研究前沿和热点方向,为研究 EC 放射治疗的学者提供了参考。
