Research trends of neoadjuvant therapy in lung cancer: a bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung cancer is the most prevalent malignancy worldwide. Only a fraction of early-stage patients undergo radical surgery; however, many still experience recurrence and metastasis within 5 years postoperatively (approximately 30-75%). Neoadjuvant therapy has revolutionized the treatment approach for lung cancer, with a growing number of clinical trials investigating this modality. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of neoadjuvant therapy in lung cancer, intending to guide future research.

Method

To extract literature on neoadjuvant therapy for lung cancer published in the Web of Science Core Collection, spanning January 1, 2004, to December 31, 2023. Utilizing software tools including VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and GraphPad Prism to conduct bibliometric analysi
