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

We investigated whether 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake parameters using positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography predicts several survival outcomes, including lung metastasis-free survival, in patients with laryngeal or pharyngeal cancer who underwent salvage surgery. The maximum standardized uptake value, metabolic tumor volume, and total lesion glycolysis were calculated as 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake parameters in 51 patients with laryngeal or pharyngeal cancer before salvage surgery. In univariate analysis, the maximum standardized uptake value ≥ 22.8, metabolic tumor volume ≥ 2.4, and total lesion glycolysis ≥ 5.4 were significantly correlated with shorter overall survival. In multivariate analysis with adjustment for clinical stage, patients with total lesion glycolysis ≥ 5.4 exhibited significantly shorter overall survival. Furthermore, total lesion glycolysis ≥ 5.4 was significantly correlated with shorter disease-specific survival, distant metastasis-free survival, and lung metastasis-free survival in univariate analysis. In conclusion, total lesion glycolysis predicts the survival outcomes including lung metastasis in patients with laryngeal or pharyngeal cancer who underwent salvage surgery.
