Cervical cancer poses a significant challenge to global health, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Tracking the survival rates of cancer patients through data gathered by population-based cancer registries constitutes a crucial aspect of cancer management. In recent years, attention within bibliometric studies has been directed towards examining the correlation between inflammation and radiotherapy in cervical cancer. However, to date, there is no published literature investigating research trends in cervical cancer survival through bibliometric analysis. Thus, this study was undertaken to identify and analyse global research patterns and hotpots in this area. A systematic search was performed within the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database, employing the following search parameters: TITLE - (((survival) OR (survival rate) OR (survival analysis) OR (survival probability)) AND ((cervical cancer) OR (cervical carcinoma))). A comprehensive analysis of research trends was conducted utilising various tools on the WoSCC website and VOSviewer. A total of 840 papers pertaining to cervical cancer and survival were identified from 45 distinct departments or subjects. Notably, the People's Republic of China and the USA collectively accounted for half of all publications from 2000 to 2023. An extensive cohort comprising 4,759 authors affiliated with 1,454 institutions across 82 countries contributed to the progression of this research domain. Despite a substantial increase in research on cervical cancer survival over the last decade, it is essential to encourage and conduct research, particularly in high-risk regions, especially in countries classified as low- or middle-income.
宫颈癌对全球健康构成重大挑战，在低收入和中等收入国家尤为如此。通过基于人群的癌症登记处收集的数据追踪癌症患者的生存率是癌症管理的一个关键方面。近年来，文献计量学研究的关注点已转向研究宫颈癌中炎症与放射治疗之间的相关性。然而，迄今为止，尚无通过文献计量分析调查宫颈癌生存率研究趋势的已发表文献。因此，本研究旨在识别和分析该领域的全球研究模式和热点。在科学网核心合集（WoSCC）数据库中进行了系统检索，使用以下检索参数：标题 - （（（生存）或（生存率）或（生存分析）或（生存概率））且（（宫颈癌）或（子宫颈癌）））。利用WoSCC网站和VOSviewer上的各种工具对研究趋势进行了全面分析。从45个不同的部门或学科中总共识别出840篇与宫颈癌和生存相关的论文。值得注意的是，2000年至2023年期间，中华人民共和国和美国的出版物合计占所有出版物的一半。一个由来自82个国家1454个机构的4759名作者组成的广泛队列推动了这一研究领域的发展。尽管在过去十年中关于宫颈癌生存率的研究大幅增加，但仍有必要鼓励并开展研究，特别是在高危地区，尤其是在被归类为低收入或中等收入的国家。
