Declining or Waning
- Non-Oncological Applications:
Research related to non-oncological applications of hyperthermia, such as in rheumatic diseases or other non-cancerous conditions, has been less prominent compared to the emphasis on oncological treatments. - Basic Science Studies:
There is a noticeable decrease in basic science studies focused on thermal physics or biophysics of hyperthermia, as the journal has shifted towards clinical and translational research. - Longitudinal Studies on Thermal Effects:
Long-term studies assessing the chronic effects of hyperthermia or thermal damage on tissues have become less frequent, possibly due to a shift towards immediate clinical outcomes. - Historical Reviews and Meta-Analyses:
The publication of broad historical reviews or comprehensive meta-analyses on previously established techniques is declining, as the journal prioritizes innovative and novel research findings.
