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.
