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.

This article has been retracted: The authors recently reported analytical errors in this paper that drastically change the credibility of the published article conclusions. Major concerns include insufficient sample size, questionable literature search strategy, missing literature quality assessment and missing clinical heterogeneity analysis. All these concerns lead to the question of the reliability of its conclusion. Based on the problems identified in the assessment process and the results of institutional investigation, all authors have concluded that the most appropriate course of action is to retract the paper.
