Research utilizing CRISPR and other gene editing technologies to investigate gene function and develop novel therapeutic approaches is on the rise, reflecting the potential for precision medicine in oncology.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemotherapy Studies:
There is a noticeable decline in studies focused solely on traditional chemotherapy agents, as research increasingly shifts toward personalized medicine and targeted therapies that consider the specific molecular profiles of tumors. - Basic Cell Culture Studies:
Research relying solely on conventional 2D cell culture models is less frequent, as more studies adopt advanced in vivo models and 3D culture systems that better mimic the tumor microenvironment. - Single Biomarker Studies:
The trend is shifting away from single biomarker studies towards multi-omics approaches that integrate various molecular data types, reflecting a more comprehensive understanding of cancer biology. - Generalized Cancer Epidemiology:
There is a decline in broad epidemiological studies lacking molecular insights, as the focus moves towards understanding specific genetic and environmental interactions that contribute to cancer.
