The Editor and Publisher of Cancer Management and Research wish to retract the published article. Concerns were raised over the alleged image duplication if Figure 6B with similar images from unrelated articles, specifically:

The authors did not respond to our queries and the Editor determined the findings of the study were no longer valid and advised for the article to be retracted.

Our decision-making was informed by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retraction.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
