Abstract: Objective To explore the current research status,collaboration situation,hot spots and development trend of thermal ablation therapy for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The Web of Science core collection database was searched,and the visualization analysis of the recent core literature was accomplished by using CiteSpace software.Results A total of 1385 core collections were enrolled in this study,and China was the country with the largest number of published academic papers.The most cited references was the theses published by Bruix,et al.The key words included radiofrequency ablation,microwave ablation,percutaneous ethanol injection,immunotherapy,fusion imaging,etc.,which could be divided into 6 clusters and 15 emergent words.Conclusion Thermal ablation of HCC has been a research hot spot in HCC treatment.This technology has been gradually maturing,and it,being combined with imaging technology and other therapeutic methods,has achieved continuous development and plays an important role in the clinical treatment of HCC.
