Wang R, Wu Q. Onco Targets Ther. 2022;15:31–39.

At the authors request, the Editor and Publisher of OncoTargets and Therapy wish to retract the published article. The authors contacted the journal to advise that several actions reported in the article were not performed and some of the data had been falsified. Specifically, the retrospective collection and analysis of data from 30 advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR mutations described in the Control Cohort section on page 32 did not occur.

The authors wish to apologise for their actions and the inconvenience this has caused.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
