The research perspectives and frontiers on radiotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma: a bibliometric analysis and systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Research into radiotherapy(RT) for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) has significantly advanced, underscoring its critical role in systemic therapy. However, there remains a notable lack of quantitative and analytical studies specifically addressing RT in the context of HCC. This study aims to evaluate the evolution of RT research and provide a comprehensive analysis of RT studies using bibliometric citation analysis.

Methods

A literature search was conducted on July 2, 2024, to extract relevant publications from the Science Citation Index-Expanded(SCIE) of the Web of Science Core Collection(WoSCC), spanning the years 2014 to 2023. Bibliometric and quantitative assessments of the collected publications were performed using visualization tools such as CiteSpace and V
