OBJECTIVE: To review the current research status and hotspots of acupuncture-assisted tumor chemotherapy and provide references for clinical and basic research in this field. METHODS: The relevant literature on acupuncture-assisted tumor chemotherapy from the inception of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science (WoS) databases to December 10, 2023, was retrieved. CiteSpace6.2.R4 and VOSviewer1.6.20 software was used to analyze publication volume, authors, institutions, source journals, and keywords, etc. and to create visualized mapping. RESULTS: A total of 2 116 articles were included (1 829 from CNKI and 287 from WoS), showing an overall upward trend in publication volume. The scope of acupuncture-assisted tumor chemotherapy has expanded, with a growing variety of research types. In CNKI, the most prolific authors and institutions were from Henan University of CM, forming core research teams. In WoS, the most prolific author was Bao T, and the leading institution was Kyung Hee University in South Korea, although author and institution distribution was more scattered, with close inter-regional collaboration. There were 602 keyword nodes in CNKI and 383 in WoS, with high-frequency keywords in both databases mainly focusing on treatment protocols, cancer types, and chemotherapy-related adverse reactions. CNKI publications highlighted frequent use of acupoints, with more diverse acupoint protocol options, while WoS focused more on different research methods. Recent CNKI studies have focused on improving immune function and quality of life, while "systematic review" emerged as a key term in WoS. CONCLUSION Research on acupuncture-assisted tumor chemotherapy should further strengthen collaboration and communication, focus on improving clinical evidence, and promote wider application of acupuncture in integrative oncology research.
