Declining or Waning
- Conventional Chemotherapy Studies:
There is a noticeable decline in studies focusing solely on conventional chemotherapy approaches, as interest shifts towards targeted therapies and immunotherapies that offer more personalized treatment options. - Basic Histopathology Reports:
The frequency of basic histopathology studies has decreased, possibly due to a growing focus on molecular characterization and advanced imaging techniques that provide more detailed insights into tumor biology. - Epidemiological Studies:
While epidemiological studies are still relevant, there appears to be a waning interest in broad epidemiological analyses in favor of more targeted studies that explore specific genetic or molecular factors influencing tumor behavior. - Radiotherapy Alone Studies:
Research focusing only on radiotherapy without exploring combination therapies or advanced techniques is less prevalent, as current trends emphasize integrated treatment strategies. - Studies on Adult Brain Tumors:
The proportion of studies focused exclusively on adult brain tumors is declining as there is a growing emphasis on pediatric neuro-oncology, reflecting increased awareness and research funding in this area.
