Abstract:
Objective:To understand the current status and trends of domestic research on esophageal cancer in the elderly.Methods:In the three major databases of CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP, studies related to elderly esophageal cancer were retrieved using the keywords "elderly" and "esophageal cancer" from the inception of the databases until December 7, 2024.Following the manual screening of the extracted studies, CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were employed to perform a visual analysis of publication trends, authors, institutions, and keywords.Results:A total of 1, 165 articles were included in the study.The first article appeared in 1989, and the number of publications has been increasing year by year, reaching a peak in 2014.The author with the highest number of publications is Zhu Shuchai, and the institution is The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University.Keyword clustering formed ten clusters including "esophageal cancer, elderly, nedaplatin, nursing, thoracoscopic, prognosis, risk factors, enteral nutrition, treatment, and esophageal stenosis." Emerging keywords include surgical treatment, thoracoabdominal laparoscopy, prognosis, and apatinib.Conclusions:Currently, targeted therapy is a research hot spot and frontier.It is anticipated that ongoing advancements in treatment methods will contribute to improved outcomes and quality of life for elderly patients with esophageal cancer.
