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

This study evaluated the relationship between synchronous multiple gastric cancer and other primary malignancies. During 2002–2013, 1094 consecutive surgically treated gastric cancer patients were enrolled. Preoperatively, we performed total colonoscopy and whole-body computed tomography. When malignancies in other organs were suspected, detailed organ-specific examinations were performed. Synchronous multiple gastric cancer occurred in 102 patients (9.3%)which was frequently observed in patients with preoperative other primary malignancies (p < 0.001). Preoperative other primary malignancy was an independent risk factor for synchronous multiple gastric cancer (p = 0.001; hazard ratio: 2.145, 95% confidence interval: 1.354–3.399) and an independent prognostic factor of overall survival in patients undergoing gastrectomy with curative intent (p = 0.021; hazard ratio: 1.481, 95% confidence interval: 1.060–2.070). Thus, patients with preoperative other primary malignancies have a high risk of synchronous multiple gastric cancer. Careful preoperative examination is recommended to improve survival.
