Abstract

Abstract : Background: Radiation enteritis (RE) caused by radiation therapy, can seriously affect human health. Recently, studies on RE have been growing rapidly, but there are no bibliometric studies on RE. This study aims to explore the development trends and research hotspots of RE. Methods: Academic papers on the Web of Science were retrieved on the topic of "radioactive enteritis" from the establishment of the database to December 2020. Countries, institutions, and subjects selected in this field were visualized using Citespace, HistCite, and Vosviewer. The annual trends in publications, distribution, co-authorship status, and research hotspots were analyzed. Results: The authors ranked first in terms of publication amount were Delaney, Francois, Milliat, and Vozenin-Brotons. The United States had the highest number of posts, followed by China, France, the United Kingdom, and Spain. Conclusion: Future research in the field of RE will focus on double-blind clinical trials of RE, and the related mechanisms, such as oxidative stress and apoptosis.
