Abstract

Recently, studies have found that exercise can promote recovery in cancer patients. Based on bibliometric analysis, this paper discusses the trends and hot spots of exercise oncology research in the past 30 years. The Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) was searched to obtain information on publications and records published between 1993 and 2023.VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used to conduct bibliometric and visual analyses on the overall distribution of keywords and highly cited papers, and a total of 1775 articles were retrieved. Harvard University was the institution with the highest number of publications and Fearon ranked first in 2013 with a total of 605 citations.
