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This article has been retracted: Instances of image duplication have been discovered in this paper. Specifically, the WIF-1 panel of Figure 7C contains an overlap with the SFRP1+miR-27a inhibitors image in Figure 7C of an earlier published paper [1]. Figure 2B also contains multiple western blot overlaps with Figure 2B of another earlier published paper [2]. Therefore, the Editorial decision has been made to retract this paper. All authors agreed with the decision.
