We, the Editors and Publisher of Cancer Management and Research, have retracted the published article. Concerns were raised following the authors request to make changes to Figures 1 and 2 after finding some images had been duplicated. It was also found that tumor images in Figure 6 had been duplicated with images from another article. Specifically,

  • The images for Figure 1A and 1B, have been duplicated with the images for Figure 2C and 2E, respectively.
  • Several of the tumor images shown in Figure 6A, appear to have been duplicated with images from Figure 4B from Zhang J, Cai R, Zhang Y, Wang X. Involvement of a novel circularRNA, hsa_circ_0000520, attenuates tumorigenesis of cervical cancer cell through competitively binding with miR-146b-3p. J Cell Mol Med. 2020;24:8480–8490. https://doi.org/10.1111/jcmm.15414.

When approached for an explanation, the authors did not respond to our queries, nor did they provide original data for their study. As verifying the validity of the published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article and the authors were notified of this.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and the COPE guidelines.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
