Background: A large number of published articles exist regarding intracranial tumors. This article aims to present the 100 most-cited articles on brain tumors and to perform a bibliometric analysis. Methods: In May 2021, the authors performed a title- focused search using Clarivate’s Web of Science database in order to identify the most cited articles centered on brain tumors. Results: Our search retrieved 99,652 articles on brain tumors. The top 100 most cited publications, published between 1979 and 2017, were identified by the number of times they were cited in other articles. The median number of citations for the top 100 articles was 726.5 citations. All of them combined have been cited 118,703 times, with an average citation per item of 24.84. The most cited article was from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Brain Tumor and Radiotherapy groups in the New England Journal of Medicine, titled “Radiotherapy plus concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide for glioblastoma”. Conclusion: The aim of this study was to present analysis of the top 100 most cited articles regarding any tumor type of the brain. All 100 articles in our dataset had over 400 citations each and can thus be considered citation classics, publications in the field that are highly cited. The citation analysis of the top 100 articles regarding brain tumors shows the current landscape of noteworthy publications in the field of study. Clinician scientists entering the field would benefit from understanding the most prominent citation classics. The findings of this study should also be of importance to all individuals entering the field of neuro-oncology.
