Trending and Emerging
- Immunotherapy and Targeted Therapies:
A significant increase in studies related to immunotherapy and targeted therapies is evident, reflecting a shift toward personalized medicine in the treatment of glioblastoma and other CNS tumors. - Liquid Biopsy and Minimal Residual Disease Detection:
Research on liquid biopsies and their role in monitoring treatment responses and detecting minimal residual disease is gaining traction, providing a non-invasive method to track tumor dynamics. - AI and Machine Learning Applications:
The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in neuro-oncology research is trending, particularly in imaging analysis and prognostic modeling, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. - Neurocognitive Outcomes and Quality of Life Research:
There is a growing emphasis on understanding neurocognitive outcomes and quality of life for patients undergoing treatment for brain tumors, highlighting the psychosocial aspects of cancer care. - Tumor Microenvironment Studies:
An increasing focus on the tumor microenvironment and its role in tumor biology and treatment resistance is emerging, with research exploring how cellular interactions within the microenvironment influence therapeutic outcomes.
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.
