Research trends and areas of focus on cryoablation and oncology: A bibliometric analysis from 2001 to 2020

Cryoablation is an interdisciplinary, widely used treatment approach for several types of solid tumors, making it difficult to obtain a comprehensive picture of its current status and popular research topics. This study aimed to use a bibliometric approach to understand important research themes and...

description Cryoablation is an interdisciplinary, widely used treatment approach for several types of solid tumors, making it difficult to obtain a comprehensive picture of its current status and popular research topics. This study aimed to use a bibliometric approach to understand important research themes and trends in cryoablation and oncology. METHODS: Literature studies on cryoablation and oncology from 2001 to 2020 were extracted from the Web of Science. A bibliometric analysis was performed based on the annual publication volume, several journal articles and local citation score, and distribution of keywords and trends in the literature using tools such as COOC version 9.94, VOSviewer version 1.6.17, and the bibliometrix version 3.1.3 R package. RESULTS: This study included 2793 publications. Total yearly publications have plateaued over the last 20 years. Five research themes were presented in the keyword network, including clinical applications of cryoablation in liver, lung, kidney, prostate, and skin cancers and comparison of cryoablation with other energy ablations. After 2012, 2 new research topics emerged: synergy between cryoablation and immunotherapy in tumors and cryoablation of Barrett esophagus. The high cited literatures are dominated by studies related to cryoablation for renal and prostate cancer treatment, but they also reflect the recent increasing interest in immunotherapy and bone metastases. Twenty important journals were identified, with Cryobiology publishing the most articles. CONCLUSION: Bibliometric analysis of studies related to tumor cryoablation can help researchers rapidly comprehend popular topics and determine future trends, guiding future research directions.
