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This article has been retracted: In Figure 8, panel B, three of the tumor images are duplicates of images published in three other journals [1–3]. In addition, multiple internal image duplications occurred in Figure 4. The authors are unable to recover the original data and cannot verify the accuracy of their conclusions. As a result, all authors have agreed to the retraction of this paper from Oncotarget.
