Objective
To identify the research on “hot spots” and frontiers of self-management in patients with breast cancer.

Methods
We searched the Web of Science database for articles associated with keywords, and used CiteSpaceIII to analyze the data.

Results
A total of 958 documents were included. High-frequency keywords covered “quality of life (QOL),” “randomized controlled trial,” “depression,” “fatigue,” and “meta-analysis.” Research on self-management by patients with breast cancer has mainly been conducted in the United States of American (USA) and other western countries, whereas the Asian country, China ranked eighth among the top 10 countries.

Conclusions
The analysis revealed research on “hot spots” particularly research on psychological health and QOL. Promoting clinical research, encouraging evidence-based practice, and developing nursing specialization may improve research on self-management interventions for patients with breast cancer.
