There is a rising interest in the role of integrative therapies, such as yoga, acupuncture, and mindfulness, in managing cancer-related symptoms and improving quality of life for patients. - Research on Social Determinants of Health:

Declining or Waning

Research on the management of invasive procedures, such as central line placements and traditional surgical interventions, has become less prominent, likely due to a shift towards non-invasive and less risky treatment alternatives. - Generalized Pain Management:
While pain management remains a critical topic, there is a noticeable decline in generalized studies focusing solely on pain management in oncology, as more nuanced approaches targeting specific pain syndromes and patient populations are gaining traction.
