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 systematic review is written to investigate the outcome of cervical cancer. A comprehensive search of PubMed and EMBASE was performed to identify eligible studies. Nineteen studies from thirteen articles with a total of 1,310 participants were included in this meta-analysis. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) as a prognosis for cervical cancer were extracted and calculated, if available. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using STATA (version 12.0), resulting in the pooled HRs 0.70 (95% CI: 0.51–0.97) for OS, 1.02 (95% CI: 0.53–1.98) for DFS, and 0.56 (95% CI: 0.40–0.77) for RFS. The results indicated that cervical cancer patients with decreased microRNA expression were associated with shorter OS and RFS. It suggested that microRNAs might be promising markers for predicting the survival rate of cervical cancer.
