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

As a common antagonist of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1) plays an important role in the tumor progression. The aim of our meta-analysis was to summarize the diagnostic value of WIF1 methylation in colorectal cancer (CRC). Eligible studies were retrieved by a systemic search among PubMed, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang literature databases. The diagnostic value of WIF1 methylation for CRC was assessed by the summary receiver operating characteristics (SROC) test. Our meta-analysis of 12 studies between 1420 CRC samples and 946 control samples showed that WIF1 hypermethylation was significantly associated with CRC (P < 0.001, OR = 30.10, 95% CI = 19.48-46.50). WIF1 hypermethylation, as a diagnostic biomarker for CRC, has a pooled sensitivity of 0.40 (95% CI: 0.37-0.42), a pooled specificity of 0.95 (95% CI: 0.93-0.96), a pooled positive-likelihood ratio (PLR) of 8.65 (95% CI, 4.47-16.73), and a pooled negative-likelihood ratio (NLR) of 0.41 (95% CI, 0.30-0.55), a diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of 26.86 (95% CI: 15.73-45.89), and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.9115. In conclusion, our study established that WIF1 hypermethylation might be a promising diagnostic biomarker for CRC.
