Abstract

In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have emerged as a novel immunotherapeutic approach, offering renewed hope for enhancing cervical cancer patient prognosis. This study represents the inaugural bibliometric analysis of ICIs in the context of cervical cancer, covering the period from 2014 to 2024. A total of 422 articles were identified through the Web of Science Core Collection database, amassing 10,977 citations, with a consistent annual increase in the number of publications. The leading contributors in terms of countries, institutions, journals, and authors included China, the University of Texas System, Frontiers in Oncology, and Bradley J. Monk, respectively. The journal with the highest frequency of citation and co-citation was Journal of Clinical Oncology. The researchers with the highest number of citations and co-citations were Sarina A Piha-Paul and Krishnansu S Tewari respectively. The keyword cluster analysis identified four main research directions. Furthermore, literature co-citation analysis and burst citation analysis revealed three research hotspots and four potential emerging topics within this domain, respectively. This study provides valuable reference and enlightenment for researchers in this field. As research progresses, ICIs are anticipated to offer significant hope and breakthroughs in the treatment of cervical cancer.
