Recent studies increasingly explore the impact of socioeconomic factors and health disparities on treatment outcomes, reflecting a shift towards understanding how these elements affect patient care. - Neurocognitive Function and Rehabilitation:
Research on neurocognitive functioning and rehabilitation strategies for brain tumor survivors is trending, emphasizing the importance of cognitive health and quality of life post-treatment. - Patient-Reported Outcomes and Psychosocial Support:
A marked increase in the assessment of patient-reported outcomes and the psychosocial aspects of living with brain tumors highlights the importance of addressing emotional and psychological needs. - Molecular and Genetic Profiling:
There is a surge in studies focusing on molecular and genetic profiling of tumors, which is critical for personalizing treatment and understanding tumor biology. - Telemedicine and Remote Care Solutions:
The rise of telemedicine, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to increased research on remote care solutions and their efficacy in neuro-oncology.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemotherapy Protocols:
There appears to be a reduced emphasis on standard chemotherapy protocols for brain tumors, likely due to the increasing focus on personalized medicine and targeted therapies, which are seen as more effective. - Surgical Techniques with Limited Innovation:
As the field progresses with newer technologies and methodologies, traditional surgical techniques for brain tumors seem to receive less attention, indicating a shift towards more innovative approaches. - Generalized Neuro-Oncology Guidelines:
Research focusing on broad, generalized treatment guidelines without specific context or patient stratification is less prevalent, as the field moves towards more tailored and individualized treatment strategies. - Basic Epidemiological Studies:
There has been a noticeable decline in basic epidemiological studies that do not incorporate advanced methodologies or focus on specific subpopulations, as more targeted research gains traction. - Single-Institution Studies:
The prevalence of studies conducted within a single institution has decreased, with a shift towards multicenter collaborations and larger cohort studies to enhance the generalizability of findings.
