Declining or Waning
- Conventional Chemotherapy Studies:
Research focused on traditional chemotherapy regimens has decreased, likely due to the emergence of targeted therapies and immunotherapies that offer improved efficacy and safety profiles. - Single-Agent Treatments:
There has been a waning interest in studies that evaluate single-agent treatments without the context of combination therapies, reflecting a shift towards more comprehensive treatment approaches. - Basic Cell Line Studies:
The reliance on basic in vitro studies using established cancer cell lines without further validation in preclinical models or clinical settings has seen a decline, indicating a need for more translational relevance. - Animal Models of Cancer:
Research utilizing traditional animal models may be declining in favor of more sophisticated in vivo systems, such as patient-derived xenografts or organoids, which better mimic human tumor biology. - Epidemiological Studies in Rare Cancers:
The frequency of epidemiological studies focusing on rare cancer types may be diminishing, possibly due to limited funding and research interest compared to more prevalent cancers.
