Targeted Oncology
Scope & Guideline
Advancing cancer care through targeted research.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Targeted Therapies in Oncology:
The journal emphasizes the development and application of targeted therapies, including small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, and antibody-drug conjugates, for various malignancies. - Molecular Characterization of Tumors:
Research focusing on the molecular and genetic profiling of tumors to identify actionable mutations and guide treatment decisions is a key area of focus. - Real-World Evidence and Outcomes:
Targeted Oncology publishes studies that provide insights into real-world treatment patterns, patient outcomes, and the effectiveness of therapies in diverse populations. - Clinical Trials and Drug Development:
The journal includes reports on clinical trials, particularly phase 1 and 2 studies that assess the safety and efficacy of new agents, as well as combination therapies. - Immunotherapy and Combination Approaches:
Research examining the intersection of immunotherapy with targeted therapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors and their role in enhancing treatment outcomes. - Emerging Biomarkers and Predictive Models:
Studies identifying new biomarkers that predict responses to therapy and the development of prognostic models are central to the journal's aims.
Trending and Emerging
- Integrative Approaches to Precision Medicine:
There is a growing trend toward integrating genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic data to develop personalized treatment strategies tailored to individual patients. - Real-World Evidence Studies:
An increase in real-world evidence studies showcasing treatment effectiveness, patient adherence, and outcomes in routine clinical practice reflects the journal's focus on practical applications of research. - Biomarker-Driven Therapy:
Emerging research centers on identifying and validating biomarkers that guide therapy selection, particularly in the context of targeted and immunotherapies. - Combination Therapies:
The exploration of combination therapies that leverage both targeted and immunotherapeutic agents is gaining prominence, underscoring the complexity of cancer treatment. - Patient-Centric Research:
There is an increased focus on patient-reported outcomes, quality of life studies, and the psychosocial aspects of cancer treatment, reflecting a holistic approach to oncology.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemotherapy:
There is a noticeable decline in publications centered around traditional chemotherapy regimens as the focus shifts toward targeted therapies and immunotherapy. - Single-Agent Studies:
Research exclusively investigating the efficacy of single-agent therapies is less prevalent as combination therapies gain more traction in clinical settings. - General Cancer Epidemiology:
While still important, broad epidemiological studies without a targeted focus on molecular mechanisms or specific therapies have become less emphasized. - Non-Molecularly Targeted Treatment Strategies:
The emphasis on non-targeted treatment strategies is decreasing as precision medicine and personalized therapy approaches dominate the landscape. - Basic Science without Clinical Relevance:
Studies that do not bridge laboratory research with clinical implications are less frequently published, as there is a stronger push for translational research.
