To analyze the research status of acupuncture and moxibustion for cancer at home and abroad in the past 45 years by using bibliometric and scientific knowledge map methods，and explore the development trends in future. The literature of acupuncture and moxibustion for cancer was retrieved from CNKI and Web of Science (WOS) till December 31, 2020 since the database establishment, and CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were used to perform visual map analysis through cooperation network, keyword co-occurrence, keyword timeline, keyword emergence and other methods. Totally, 1 585 literature in CNKI and 1 564 literature in WOS were included, and the annual publication amount showed a fluctuating upward trend. Cooperation between countries was centered on China and the United States, and there was relatively little cooperation among different institutions. The analysis of keyword and cited literature showed that researches focused on the control of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy on cancer complications and adverse reactions of western medicine. The main research types in WOS were systematic review and randomized controlled trial (RCT), while in CNKI was review, depth studies on mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion for cancer were rare. The concern about the quality of life of cancer patients may become research emphasis in the field of acupuncture and moxibustion for cancer in future, and the research scope tends to integrative and holistic oncology.
利用文献计量和科学知识图谱方法分析近45年国内外针灸治疗肿瘤的研究现状，并探讨未来发展趋势。检索中国期刊全文数据库（CNKI）和核心数据集（WOS）建库至2020年12月31日针灸治疗肿瘤文献，利用 CiteSpace及VOSviewer软件通过合作网络、关键词共现、关键词时间线、关键词突现等方法进行可视化图谱分析。分别得到CNKI文献1 585篇、WOS文献1 564篇，年发文量呈现波动上升的趋势。国家合作以中国、美国为中心，但机构之间合作并不紧密。关键词及被引文献分析显示，研究以针灸疗法对肿瘤并发症及西医治疗中不良反应的控制为主。WOS中研究类型以系统评价和随机对照试验（RCT）为主，CNKI则以综述居多，均少见针灸治疗肿瘤相关机制的深入研究。对肿瘤患者生活质量的关注可能成为未来针灸在肿瘤领域的研究重点，研究范畴趋向于整合肿瘤学。.
