Wu Yi-Long was identified as the most prolific author, contributing 30 publications. AstraZeneca emerged as the industrial leader with 103 articles, while the New England Journal of Medicine was recognized as the primary journal with the highest total link strength. Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed significant research topics including “gefitinib”, “chemotherapy”, “open label”, and “erlotinib.” Moreover, keyword burst analysis indicated notable periods of increased research focus on topics such as “osimertinib” and “liquid biopsy”, suggesting emerging trends and current hotspots in the treatment of EGFR-mutated NSCLC.Conclusion: This analysis highlights research trends on TKIs for EGFR-mutated NSCLC, emphasizing the importance of targeted therapies like gefitinib and osimertinib for future research and clinical practice enhancement.Keywords: tyrosine kinase inhibitors, non-small cell lung cancer, bibliometrics, CiteSpace, VOSviewer |
