Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemotherapy Mechanisms:
Research focused on classical chemotherapy mechanisms and their direct effects on cancer cells is less prevalent, as newer targeted therapies and immunotherapies gain attention. - Single-Agent Drug Studies:
There is a noticeable decrease in studies solely investigating the efficacy of single-agent chemotherapeutics, with a growing preference for combination therapies and multi-target approaches. - Basic Histopathological Studies:
Traditional histopathological analyses without integrating molecular or genetic data seem to be less common, as the field moves towards more comprehensive, multi-omics studies. - Animal Models of Cancer:
While still relevant, the reliance on traditional animal models is decreasing as researchers explore alternative models, including patient-derived xenografts and organoids. - General Epidemiological Studies:
Generic epidemiological studies that do not incorporate molecular or mechanistic insights are becoming less frequent, as the emphasis shifts towards more integrative and translational research.
