Objective: To analyze the research status, hotspots, and trends in nutritional care for cancer patients, providing evidence for future clinical practice and research. Methods: Literature on nutritional care for cancer patients published between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2024, was retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database. CiteSpace 6.4.R1 was utilized to visualize and analyze keywords, authors, and institutions in the included studies. Results: A total of 919 Chinese articles were included. The annual publication volume in this field showed significant fluctuations, peaking in 2019. Authors and institutions were distributed with limited collaboration. The primary study populations included patients with esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and those undergoing chemoradiotherapy. Key research themes focused on nutritional assessment, therapeutic nutrition interventions, and nutritional support strategies. Conclusion: Nutritional care for cancer patients has garnered substantial attention and formed several research hotspots. However, further in-depth studies are required. Future efforts should strengthen collaborations among authors and institutions to advance this field.
