The authors wish to advise of errors with Figures 2 and 3 on page 891. The Figure 3 image belongs with the Figure 2 caption and the Figure 2 image belongs with the Figure 3 caption. The correct figures and captions are shown below.

Figure 2 The association between three-dimensional left ventricular global longitudinal strain (3D LV GLS) and three-dimensional right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (3D RV FWLS).

Figure 3 Receiver operating curves of variations of three-dimensional right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (3D RV FWLS) for predicting subclinical chemotherapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD), with areas under the curve (AUC) of 0.74, the optimal cutoff values being −17.5% with a sensitivity of 80.5% and a specificity of 65.8%.
