Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of Studies on Hospice Nursing for Patients with Cancer in China

【Abstract】
We analyzed studies on palliative nursing for cancer patients in China, referring to the 2021 edition of the China Science and Technology Journal Citation Report（Core Edition）. We found that the research on palliative care in China was still in the development stage. In the future, we should pay attention to the research hotspots and frontiers in this field, and further exploration is needed for the model and service system of hospice care based on China’s national conditions.

Adequate Opioid Analgesic Treatment for Cancer-Related Pain: Supporting Cancer Survivorship
　

【Abstract】
Opioid analgesics are still the mainstay analgesic therapy for patients with cancer-related pain. However, in Japan and other Eastern Asian countries, the adequate opioid availability has been still very limited and delayed in matching the global standard. Universal access to effective opioid analgesics and consequent quality cancer-related pain relief should be expanded and achieved rapidly in the Eastern Asian countries.

【Key words】
Cancer-related pain, Opioid analgesics, Adequate opioid consumption

Palliative Medicine Promoted by Medical Big Data Analysis
　

【Abstract】
There is little evidence for palliative medicine because patients are in poor condition and have difficulty participating in randomized controlled trials. In recent years, research using medical big data has been increasing owing to its advantages including large sample sizes, low costs, and less ethical issues. We are aiming to develop evidence for palliative medicine using medical big data, and we present several examples in this article.
