Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemotherapy Studies:
There has been a noticeable reduction in the number of publications focusing solely on traditional chemotherapy regimens without accompanying innovative approaches or combination therapies. This shift may reflect a broader trend towards personalized medicine and targeted therapies. - Descriptive Epidemiological Studies:
While epidemiological research remains important, there seems to be a decline in purely descriptive studies that do not incorporate newer methodologies or advanced statistical analyses. The journal may be moving towards more analytical approaches that provide deeper insights into cancer etiology. - Studies on Less Common Cancers:
Research focusing on rarer cancers appears to be less frequent. As the journal expands its focus on more prevalent cancers, studies on less common malignancies may receive less attention.
