Abstract:
Objective To analyze the knowledge structure, main research strength, the development trend and research hot pots of cancer screening in China from 1990 to 2018.
Methods CiteSpace5.2.R2 was used to conduct co-occurrence analysis, cluster analysis and emergent word analysis using Chinese literature in the field of cancer screening published by China Knowledge Network, Wanfang and VIP Database from 1990 to 2018.
