Objective To summarize the development status, hot spots, and trends of radical thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer in recent 10 years by analyzing the data and atlas of the literatures related to radical thyroidectomy.Methods Literatures statistics and analysis technique of CiteSpace5.1 software were used to analyze the literatures related to radical resection of thyroid cancer, which were collected in CNKI database from January 1, 2008 to December 30, 2017, in order to obtain the trend of annual publication volume change, author and keyword clustering, and co-occurrence.Results For the annual volume of articles, 148 articles were published from 2014 to 2017, with the authors clustering to6 groups with frequent frequency. Most of the authors were independent authors. The study focused on differentiated thyroid carcinoma, lymph node dissection and endoscopic surgery, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, postoperative infection, decreased blood calcium, perioperative nursing, and preemptive analgesia. There were 35 keywords with order ≥ 6times, 8 keywords in cluster series, and 13 prominent words in the period from 2008 to 2017.Conclusions The literature of radical thyroidectomy developed rapidly from 2014 to 2017. Conducting horizontal joint research, cross-sectoral, cross-disciplinary research, and molecular diagnosis research are the deficiency of current research, and it should become the trend of research development.
