Background: As the number of tumor cases significantly increases, so does the quantity of tumor data. The mining and application of large-scale data have promoted the development of tumor big data. Among them, the visualization methods of tumor big data can well show the key information in a large volume of data and facilitate the human brain to receive information. Therefore, tumor big data visualization methods are a key part of the development of tumor big data. Process: This paper first summarizes the connotation, sources, characteristics, and applications of tumor big data, and expounds the current research status of tumor big data visualization at home and abroad. Then, this paper focuses on four mainstream visualization presentation methods of tumor big data, namely the visualization of tumor spatiotemporal data, the visualization of tumor hierarchy and network data, the visualization of tumor text data, and the visualization of multidimensional tumor data, and gives specific application scenarios. After this, the paper introduces the advantages, disadvantages, and scope of the use of five data visualization websites and software that can be easily obtained by readers. Finally, this paper analyzes the problems existing in tumor big data visualization, summarizes the visualization methods, and proposes the future of tumor big data visualization.
