CLINICAL & EXPERIMENTAL METASTASIS
Scope & Guideline
Charting New Territories in Cancer Research
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Metastatic Mechanisms and Biology:
Research into the biological underpinnings of metastasis, including cellular and molecular mechanisms that facilitate cancer spread. This includes studies on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), genetic alterations, and tumor microenvironment interactions. - Therapeutic Strategies and Innovations:
Exploration of novel therapeutic approaches aimed at preventing or treating metastasis, such as targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and combination treatments. This encompasses clinical trials and preclinical studies. - Diagnostic Techniques and Biomarkers:
Development and evaluation of diagnostic tools and biomarkers for early detection of metastasis, including imaging techniques, circulating tumor cells (CTCs), and liquid biopsies. - Clinical Outcomes and Patient Management:
Investigation of clinical outcomes related to metastatic cancer, including treatment responses, prognostic factors, and patient quality of life. This also includes analyses of treatment regimens and their efficacy. - Translational Research and Preclinical Models:
Utilization of translational research approaches and preclinical models to bridge laboratory findings with clinical applications, thereby enhancing the understanding of metastasis in a real-world context.
Trending and Emerging
- Immunotherapy and Immune Checkpoint Inhibition:
There is a significant increase in studies exploring the role of immunotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors in treating metastatic cancers, reflecting a broader trend in oncology toward harnessing the immune system. - Liquid Biopsy and Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs):
Research focusing on liquid biopsies and CTCs has gained momentum, emphasizing their potential for non-invasive monitoring of metastatic disease and treatment response. - Targeted Therapies and Personalized Medicine:
A notable trend is the exploration of targeted therapies that are tailored to the specific genetic and molecular profiles of tumors, which has become increasingly important in the management of metastatic cancers. - Tumor Microenvironment and Metastatic Niche:
The investigation of the tumor microenvironment and its influence on metastatic behavior is emerging as a critical area of research, highlighting the complex interactions that drive metastasis. - Preclinical Models and Translational Research:
There is a growing emphasis on the use of advanced preclinical models and translational research to better predict clinical outcomes and improve therapeutic strategies against metastasis.
Declining or Waning
- Basic Research on Non-Metastatic Tumor Biology:
There appears to be a waning interest in research focused solely on the biology of primary tumors without a direct connection to metastatic processes, as the field shifts toward understanding the complexities of metastasis. - Conventional Chemotherapy Approaches:
Studies centered on traditional chemotherapy regimens for metastatic cancer are less frequent, as there is a growing emphasis on personalized medicine and targeted therapies that offer more tailored treatment options. - Single-Agent Therapies:
Research dedicated to single-agent therapies is declining, as current trends favor combination therapies that leverage synergistic effects to combat metastasis more effectively. - Descriptive Studies without Translational Insight:
There has been a noticeable decrease in purely descriptive studies that do not provide translational insights or therapeutic implications, indicating a shift towards research that directly informs clinical practice.
