The complexity of cancer itself and treatment makes pharmacovigilance critical in oncology. Despite rapid progress on pharmacovigilance and cancer research in the past two decades, there has been no bibliometric analysis in this field. Therefore, based on the Web of Science database, we used CiteSpace, VOS-viewer and R-bibliometrix to analyze and visualize publications, and described the development trend and research hot spots in this field. 502 publications were included. The development of pharmacovigilance and cancer research has continued to grow. The USA has the largest number of publications and citations, followed by France and UK. Vanderbilt University and Sorbonne University are the institutions that contribute the most papers, and 5 of the top 10 high-yield institutions are from France. Salem JE and Lebrun-Vignes B of Sorbonne University have published the most papers, and they have a strong cooperative relationship. Salem JE has the highest H index. Drug Safety has the largest number of publications in the field of pharmacovigilance and cancer, with a high impact factor (IF). In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been identified as a hot topic and will continue to be maintained. This paper can help researchers get familiar with the current situation and trend of pharmacovigilance and cancer research, and provide valuable reference for the selection of future research directions.
