Declining or Waning
- Traditional Tumor Markers:
Research focusing on conventional tumor markers such as CEA or CA 19-9 appears to be declining as novel biomarkers and more sophisticated molecular techniques gain prominence. - Single Biomarker Studies:
There has been a shift away from studies focusing solely on single biomarkers, as the field moves towards multi-biomarker panels and integrative approaches that consider the complexity of cancer biology. - Invasive Diagnostic Techniques:
Research on invasive diagnostic methods is waning in favor of non-invasive liquid biopsy techniques that utilize circulating biomarkers for cancer detection and monitoring. - Chemotherapy Response Predictors:
The exploration of predictive biomarkers specifically for chemotherapy response has decreased, likely due to a broader focus on immunotherapy and targeted therapies. - Non-specific Biomarkers:
Interest in non-specific biomarkers that lack clear associations with particular cancer types or outcomes has diminished as the field emphasizes more precise and context-specific biomarker identification.
