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

Purpose: To assess the relationship between the diagnostic accuracy of Choline positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and the trigger prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level in patients with a biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer.

Materials and Methods: A meta-analysis was conducted to synthesize data across multiple studies.

Results: The pooled sensitivity and specificity of choline PET/CT were 82% (95% Confidence Interval (CI):80–84%) and 92% (95%CI: 90–93%), respectively. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of ¹⁸F-choline PET/CT were 81% (95%CI: 78–84%) and 90% (95%CI: 85–93%), respectively. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of ¹¹C-choline PET/CT were 83% (95% CI: 80–86%) and 92% (95% CI: 90–94%), respectively. The pooled detection rate of ¹⁸F-choline PET/CT and ¹¹C-choline PET/CT were 58% (95% CI: 48–68%) and 58% (95%CI: 49–68%), respectively.

Conclusions: Trigger PSA is an important risk factor for positive findings of Choline PET/CT and the detection rate of Choline PET/CT for recurrent prostate cancer increased in parallel with raises in PSA-values. Choline PET/CT got higher detection rate while the trigger PSA > 2ng/ml.
