Declining or Waning
- Traditional Cytology Techniques:
As molecular diagnostics and digital methodologies gain traction, traditional cytological techniques, such as conventional smear preparations, are appearing less frequently in recent publications. - Standalone Cytology Reporting:
There is a noticeable decline in studies solely focused on cytology reporting without the integration of molecular or advanced imaging techniques, reflecting a shift towards a more comprehensive diagnostic approach. - General Cancer Awareness Topics:
Papers focusing broadly on cancer awareness or public health issues, without a strong cytopathology focus, have decreased, indicating a shift towards more specialized, technical research. - Non-Malignant Cytological Diagnoses:
Research on benign or non-malignant cytological diagnoses is less represented, as the journal focuses more on malignancy detection and characterization, aligning with current clinical priorities.
