Trending and Emerging
- Long Non-Coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Cancer:
Research on the roles of lncRNAs in cancer biology has surged, highlighting their involvement in gene regulation, tumor progression, and potential as therapeutic targets. - Tumor Microenvironment Interactions:
There is a growing emphasis on the tumor microenvironment, particularly the role of immune cells, fibroblasts, and extracellular vesicles in cancer progression and treatment response. - Molecular Targeted Therapies:
The journal increasingly features studies on novel targeted therapies, including small molecules and monoclonal antibodies, highlighting advancements in personalized medicine. - Immunotherapy Innovations:
Innovations in immunotherapy, particularly with immune checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapies, are emerging as a primary focus, reflecting their transformative impact on cancer treatment. - Metabolic Reprogramming in Cancer:
Research into the metabolic adaptations of cancer cells, including the Warburg effect and altered lipid metabolism, is gaining traction as a critical area of investigation. - Microbiome and Cancer:
The interplay between the microbiome and cancer development/treatment is an emerging field, with studies exploring how microbial communities may influence tumor behavior and treatment efficacy.
Declining or Waning
- Chemoprevention Research:
The frequency of studies dedicated to chemoprevention strategies has decreased, possibly due to a greater emphasis on targeted therapies and immunotherapy approaches. - Traditional Herbal Remedies:
Research focusing on the efficacy of traditional herbal remedies in cancer treatment is less prevalent, indicating a possible shift towards more scientifically validated therapeutic approaches. - Epidemiological Studies:
There seems to be a reduction in epidemiological research articles, as the journal increasingly emphasizes molecular and mechanistic insights rather than broader population-based studies. - Radiotherapy Mechanisms:
While still relevant, the depth of articles specifically exploring the mechanisms of radiotherapy has waned, possibly overshadowed by new developments in targeted and immune-based therapies. - Basic Science without Clinical Relevance:
There is a noticeable decline in purely basic science studies that lack direct clinical implications, as the journal seeks more translational research that bridges laboratory findings with patient care.
