Oncotarget

Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Its scope is unique. The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. The term was introduced in the inaugural Editorial, Introducing Oncotarget.

As of January 1, 2022, Oncotarget has shifted to a continuous publishing model. Papers will now be published continuously within yearly volumes in their final and complete form and then quickly released to Pubmed.

Abstract

Received: May 3, 2010, Accepted: May 5, 2010, Published: May 10, 2010

A challenge in cancer therapy has been to identify targets whose function is essential for survival of malignant cells but not normal cells. This Perspective discusses recent evidence that novel inhibitors of the kinase TOR can provide an unprecedented balance of anti-cancer efficacy and tolerability.
