The primary objective of this paper was to assess and analyze the top 100 most cited articles currently cited in studies of fertility-sparing treatments for cervical cancer. Searching the Web of Science Core Collection database for the top 100 most cited articles on fertility-sparing treatments for cervical cancer, different aspects of the articles were analyzed, including countries, journals, institutions, authors, keywords and topics. The search was conducted up to August 2023, and the number of citations for the top 100 articles ranged from 19 to 212. These articles originated from 28 different countries, with Professor Plante, M. from Canada and Professor Sonoda, Y. from the USA having the highest number of articles, both with 10. Professor Plante, M. was the first author of 9 articles and corresponding author of 9 articles. The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the USA published the most articles (21) and received a total of 258 citations. Gynecologic Oncology published 37 of the top 100 articles, with 524 citations and an average of 14.16 citations per article. The study concludes that the USA has made the most significant contributions to this field based on the number of articles, authors, and institutions. Additionally, keyword clustering and burst analysis revealed the research hotspots and future trends in this area.
