Trending and Emerging
- RNA Modifications and Non-coding RNAs:
The role of RNA modifications, particularly N6-methyladenosine (m6A), and non-coding RNAs (like lncRNAs and circRNAs) in cancer progression and therapy is gaining traction, highlighting their potential as therapeutic targets. - Oncolytic Virus Therapies:
Research on oncolytic viruses as a novel cancer treatment modality is on the rise, with studies exploring their mechanisms of action and combination with immunotherapies to enhance therapeutic outcomes. - Synthetic Lethality Approaches:
The concept of synthetic lethality, particularly in the context of targeting specific genetic vulnerabilities in tumors, is increasingly being explored as a strategy for developing more effective treatments. - Microbiome and Cancer Interactions:
Emerging studies are investigating the influence of the microbiome on cancer development and treatment responses, indicating a new frontier in understanding cancer biology. - Personalized and Precision Medicine:
There is a growing emphasis on personalized medicine approaches that tailor therapies based on individual genetic profiles, tumor characteristics, and patient responses, which is reshaping treatment paradigms.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemotherapy Approaches:
Research centered on traditional chemotherapy has seen a decline as the focus shifts towards more targeted therapies and immunotherapy, which offer more personalized treatment options. - Non-viral Gene Delivery Systems:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies exploring non-viral methods of gene delivery, as the field increasingly favors viral vectors due to their higher efficiency and specificity in targeting tumor cells. - Basic Mechanistic Studies Without Clinical Relevance:
Papers focused solely on basic mechanistic studies without clear clinical implications or applications are becoming less common, as there is a stronger push towards translational research that bridges laboratory findings with clinical applications.
