Abstract
This study intends to investigate how cancer affects one’s quality of life in the context of religion and spirituality using bibliometric analysis. Keyword-specific publishing trends are analyzed based on a search on the Scopus database. In total, 406 documents were considered in the final analysis. The review of the available literature focused on six primary themes: religion, spirituality, coping, depression, quality of life, optimism. Following that, a thorough examination of these cancer-related topics was conducted. As a result, spirituality, religion, and optimism paved the way for cancer therapy.
