Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemotherapy Approaches:
There has been a noticeable decline in publications focused solely on traditional chemotherapy regimens for haematological malignancies, as the field increasingly shifts towards targeted therapies and immunotherapies that promise improved outcomes. - Longitudinal Studies of Established Therapies:
Research on the long-term outcomes of established therapies such as older chemotherapeutic agents has decreased, likely due to the emergence of new treatment modalities that attract more research interest. - Generalized Studies Without Specific Focus:
There appears to be less emphasis on broad, generalized studies that do not target specific haematological conditions or interventions, as the field gravitates towards more precise and targeted research. - Classic Transfusion Practices:
Although transfusion medicine remains a significant area of focus, the exploration of classic transfusion practices is waning, with more attention being given to innovative transfusion strategies and technologies. - Historical Perspectives on Haematology:
Papers focusing on historical aspects of haematology or retrospective analyses of outdated treatments are becoming less common, indicating a shift towards contemporary research that addresses current challenges.
