    Abstract
  •   Objective  To analyze the research status, hotspots, and trends of cancer symptom management in China using the visualization software CiteSpace, and to provide references for further research.  Methods  Literature related to cancer symptom management was retrieved from the CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases up to December 31, 2024. Duplicates were removed by NoteExpress and verified manually. Eligible studies focused on cancer symptom management, while abstracts, brief reviews, and notices were excluded. The included literature was imported into CiteSpace 6.3.R1, with the timespan set as 2009-2024, slice length of one year, and threshold set as Top 50. Publication output, authors, institutions, and keywords were analyzed, and network indicators were calculated.  Results  A total of 3 314 papers were included. The annual number of publications increased year by year, reaching 542 in 2024. Sixty-two core authors published 353 papers (10.6%), indicating a relatively dispersed research capacity. A total of 247 institutions contributed publications, with the top 10 all being universities, led by Shandong University, Zhengzhou University, and Anhui Medical University. Keyword co-occurrence analysis showed that "quality of life" "symptom cluster" and "symptom management" were high-frequency themes, with "quality of life" demonstrating the highest centrality. Cluster analysis generated eight themes, indicating reasonable clustering results. Recent research frontiers focused on "review" "immunotherapy" "colorectal cancer" "gynecologic cancer" "breast cancer" "self-efficacy" and the "Delphi method".  Conclusion  Research on cancer symptom management in China started relatively late but has developed rapidly. Research hotspots have evolved from single symptoms to symptom clusters, with increasing emphasis on multidisciplinary comprehensive interventions. Future efforts should strengthen inter-institutional and interdisciplinary collaboration, promote the development of standardized assessment tools, deepen research on the mechanism of symptom clusters, and integrate information-based and individualized strategies to enhance clinical application value.
