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

Chemotherapy is the standard treatment of in advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients without driver mutation. However, few drugs could be selected when diseases progressed after second-line treatment. As a small molecule inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR-2), apatinib was suggested mainly using in advanced gastric cancer. In this study, we showed the results of apatinib as second-line to fourth-line treatment in EGFR wild-type advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients. 16 EGFR wild-type advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients were administrated apatinib (250-500 mg/d) orally. 3 patients showed partial response and 8 patients showed stable diseases response to apatinib, with a medium progression-free survival (PFS) of 4.4 month (2-10 months). The objective remission rate (ORR) was 18.75%(3/16). The total disease control rate (DCR) was 68.75% (11/16). The main toxicities were hypertension, hand-foot syndrome, proteinuria and thrombocytopenia which were tolerable and manageable. So, apatinib might be an optional choice for post-first-line treatment of EGFR wild-type advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients.
