The journal supports translational research that bridges laboratory findings with clinical practice, particularly studies that investigate novel therapeutic strategies and drug development.
Trending and Emerging
- Liquid Biopsies and ctDNA:
There is a growing emphasis on the use of liquid biopsies and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as non-invasive tools for cancer detection, monitoring treatment response, and predicting relapse. - Genetic Profiling and Personalized Medicine:
Research focusing on comprehensive genetic profiling of tumors to inform personalized treatment strategies is on the rise, highlighting the shift towards tailored therapies based on individual genetic makeup. - Functional Genomics and Gene Editing:
Emerging methodologies such as CRISPR and other gene editing technologies are increasingly featured, showcasing their potential in understanding cancer biology and developing novel therapeutic approaches. - Long Non-Coding RNAs and Epigenetic Regulation:
The investigation of long non-coding RNAs and their role in cancer development and progression is gaining traction, reflecting a broader interest in epigenetic factors that influence gene expression in malignancies. - Integration of Multi-Omics Data:
There is a trend towards the integration of multi-omics approaches (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics) to provide a more comprehensive understanding of cancer biology and treatment responses.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Cytogenetics:
Research centered around traditional cytogenetic techniques such as karyotyping is appearing less frequently, as newer genomic technologies like next-generation sequencing (NGS) become more prevalent. - General Cancer Epidemiology:
There is a noticeable decline in studies focusing solely on cancer epidemiology without a genetic component, as the field increasingly prioritizes genetic and molecular factors in cancer research. - Basic Laboratory Research:
Papers focusing solely on basic laboratory techniques without direct applications to clinical practice or genetic implications are becoming less common, as the journal pivots toward more clinically relevant research. - Single Gene Studies:
Studies investigating the role of single genes in cancer without considering the broader context of genomic interactions and networks are waning, reflecting a trend towards more integrative genomic approaches.
