Objective To comprehensively analyze the research trends in the reported outcomes for lung cancer patients and related management, reveal research hotspots and trends, and provide references for future related research. Methods We searched for relevant literature in the Web of Science core collection, PubMed, and Scopus databases from inception to December 31, 2023. CiteSpace bibliometric software was used to analyze the distribution of authors, countries and regions, research institutions, keyword co-occurrence, keyword burst, and to generate keyword clusters and timeline analysis maps. Results A total of 478 qualified publications were included, and the number of published papers showed an overall upward trend. The highest number of articles was published in the United States. The journal with the highest number of articles was Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, and the journal with the highest citation frequency was Journal of Clinical Oncology. The results of keyword burst analysis showed that hot topics mainly focused on areas such as prospective study, physical activity, exercise, vomiting, survival. ConclusionAlthough the research on lung cancer surgical treatment and the management of patients is developing rapidly, the application of management based on reported outcomes of lung cancer patients is still at a nascent stage, and needs to be continuously improved in clinical research and practice. The establishment of relevant assessment systems needs to be improved. In the future, more researchers need to focus on this area, strengthen multi-regional and multi-institutional collaborations, and accelerate research progress in the management of reported outcomes in lung cancer patients.
In 2022, the National Cancer Center (NCC) of China reported the nationwide statistics of 2016 using population-based cancer registry data from all available cancer registries in China, which was mainly about the cancer incidence and mortality. Cancer remains a major health problem currently in our country and requires long term cooperation to deal with. This article provided a key point interpretation and analysis of cancer prevalence data in China, and provided an analysis of several main risk factors for cancer, which was conducive to the development of cancer prevention and control programs in different regions.
