Artificial intelligence in head and neck cancer: a bibliometric and visualization analysis (1995-2025).

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Head and neck cancers (HNCs) pose significant challenges for clinical diagnosis and treatment due to their complex anatomical structures, atypical early symptoms, and the considerable morbidities associated with treatment. The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in medicine has introduced a new paradigm for the precise diagnosis and management of HNCs.

Materials and methods

This study used bibliometric methods to systematically analyze the research landscape of AI applications in HNCs from 1995 to 2025. The aim was to identify research trends, collaboration networks, and emerging directions, thereby providing a reference for future investigations.

Results

A total of 230 AI-related publications on HNCs were retrieved from the Web o
