Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is widely applied in cancer field nowadays. The aim of this study is to explore the hotspots and trends of AI in cancer research.The retrieval term includes four topic words (“tumor,” “cancer,” “carcinoma,” and “artificial intelligence”), which were searched in the database of Web of Science from January 1983 to December 2022. Then, we documented and processed all data, including the country, continent, Journal Impact Factor, and so on using the bibliometric software.A total of 6,920 papers were collected and analyzed. We presented the annual publications and citations, most productive countries/regions, most influential scholars, the collaborations of journals and institutions, and research focus and hotspots in AI-based cancer research.This study systematically summarizes the current research overview of AI in cancer research so as to lay the foundation for future research.Copyright © 2023 Wang, Chen, Zhong, Lin, Shen, Fan and Cao.
