Trends and frontiers of maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer over the past 20 years: a bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT

Aim: To summarize and analyze the research trends and frontiers in maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer over the past 20 years. Methods: Relevant articles were identified in Web of Science, and analyzed using CiteSpace and Excel. Results: 1204 articles from 61 countries led by the USA and England were included. 6821 authors, 2345 institutions and 292 journals have participated in the publication of papers, but the collaboration between them was not very close. The annual publication volume has increased significantly since 2015. Drug combination therapy, genetic testing, management of adverse reaction and prognostic factors are research trends and frontiers of this field. Conclusion: This is the first bibliometric research in this field, which can provide some references for researchers.
