Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemotherapy Protocols:
Research focusing solely on conventional chemotherapy protocols is decreasing, possibly due to the emergence of novel therapies and personalized medicine approaches that offer more targeted treatment options. - Descriptive Epidemiological Studies:
There seems to be a waning interest in purely descriptive epidemiological studies without a translational or therapeutic aspect, as the field increasingly demands studies with direct implications for treatment and prevention. - Surgical Techniques without Novel Insights:
Studies that focus on established surgical techniques without offering new insights or improvements are becoming less common, as the journal shifts towards publishing research that presents innovative surgical approaches or significant advancements.
