This study aims to summarize sacrococcygeal chordoma literature through bibliometric analysis and to offer insights into key studies to guide clinical practices and future research. The Web of Science database was searched using the terms "sacral chordoma", "chordomas of the sacrum", "chordomas of the sacral spine", "chordomas of the sacrococcygeal region", "coccygeal chordoma", and "coccyx chordoma". Articles were analyzed for citation count, authorship, publication date, journal, research area tags, impact factor, and evidence level. The median number of citations was 75 (range: 53-306). The primary publication venue was the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics. Most works, published between 1999 and 2019, featured a median journal impact factor of 3.8 (range: 2.1-7) and predominantly fell under the research area tag, radiation, nuclear medicine, and imaging. Of these articles, 19 provided clinical data with predominantly level III evidence, and one was a literature review. This review highlights the increasing volume of sacrococcygeal chordoma publications over the past two decades, indicating evolving treatment methods and interdisciplinary patient care. Advances in radiation, particularly intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and proton beam therapy, are believed to be propelling research growth, and the lack of level I evidence underscores the need for more rigorous studies to refine treatment protocols for sacrococcygeal chordomas.
本研究旨在通过文献计量分析总结骶尾部脊索瘤的文献,并深入了解关键研究,以指导临床实践和未来研究。使用“骶骨脊索瘤”“骶骨的脊索瘤”“骶椎的脊索瘤”“骶尾区域的脊索瘤”“尾骨脊索瘤”和“尾椎脊索瘤”等检索词在科学网数据库中进行检索。对文章的被引次数、作者、发表日期、期刊、研究领域标签、影响因子和证据水平进行分析。被引次数的中位数为75(范围:53 - 306)。主要发表期刊为《国际放射肿瘤学、生物学、物理学杂志》。大多数发表于1999年至2019年之间的研究,期刊影响因子中位数为3.8(范围:2.1 - 7),主要属于辐射、核医学和影像学研究领域标签。在这些文章中,19篇提供了主要为III级证据的临床数据,1篇为文献综述。本综述强调了过去二十年骶尾部脊索瘤出版物数量的增加,表明治疗方法的不断发展和跨学科的患者护理。辐射方面的进展,特别是调强放射治疗(IMRT)和质子束治疗,被认为推动了研究的发展,而缺乏I级证据凸显了需要更严格的研究来完善骶尾部脊索瘤的治疗方案。
