Abstract: PURPOSE: To analyze the current status, research hotspots and trends of "quality of survival of oral cancer patients" from 2012 to 2021, and to provide theoretical basis and reference for related research in China. METHODS: Relevant literatures in this field were collected in the core databases of Web of Science and China Knowledge Network in the past ten years co-occurrence analysis, cluster analysis and mutation analysis were performed on countries, institutions and key words using 6.1.R3 visual analysis software. RESULTS: A total of 571 documents were screened from WOS and 35 documents from CNKI, the number of articles issued was the most in the United States and the second in China. The research hotspots in oral cancer survival quality included swallowing function, sleep, psychological adaptation, patient needs, pain assessment, etc. The high-mutation words showed that the research in this field was divided into two stages: first, research on oral cancer patients using scales for survival quality assessment and postoperative functional status; second, study of the epidemiological characteristics of oral cancer. CONCLUSIONS: The quality of survival scale in the field of oral cancer needs to be localized. The psychological and functional status of postoperative patients is the focus of their quality of survival, "hospital+community+family" three-tier model needs to be further constructed and improved.
