Objective  To explore the research state and topics of lung cancer with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in China using the visualization methods. Methods  Literature about lung cancer with COPD was searched through WanFang, CNKI, CBM, PubMed, The Cochrane Library and EMbase databases from inception to March 2018 by computer. We used BICOMS software to analyze the main information and produce co-word matrix, gCLUTO software to cluster, and NetDraw and Cytoscape software to draw the pictures. Results  There were 304 studies related to lung cancer with COPD which originated from 173 journals including 23 indexed by Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD) with 42 articles published, accounting for 13.8% of the total number of studies. There were 37 articles from 24 journals indexed by Science Citation Index (SCI) accounting for 12.2% of the total number of studies. The studies grew rapidly since 2012. The study involved 32 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, among which Beijing, Sichuan, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Jiangsu provinces and cities were the main research areas. Sixty-nine high-frequency keywords were obtained with frequency 2 as the threshold, which was clustered into 5 categories by dual cluster analysis. Among them, topic 0 showed pathogenesis and radiological diagnosis of lung cancer with COPD, topic 1 was about the clinical characteristics of different pathological types of lung cancer with COPD and Chinese medicine treatment, topic 2 aimed at the impact of risk factors on surgical complications and the relationship between chemotherapy or targeted therapies and patient survival prognosis, topic 3 involved the pigenetic correlation between lung cancer and COPD and topic 4 was about clinical studies of perioperative comprehensive management of lung cancer patients with COPD. Conclusion  The bibliometrics results show that there are considerable-amount achievements on lung cancer combined with COPD in China, and the researches have gradually increased since 2012. Horizontal research topics are extensive, and the focus of the study is to explore the perioperative comprehensive management and basic research of lung cancer with COPD, but the longitudinal themes need to be further studied. The results of some studies have not yet reached a consensus. There are few high-quality multi-center studies and a lack of clinical-directed achievement.
