The Editor and Publisher of Cancer Management and Research wish to retract the published article. Concerns were raised following a request from the authors to replace in vivo and immunohistochemistry (IHC) images in Figure 4 due to the authors having lost the original data and being unable to verify the findings as reported. The authors could not provide a satisfactory explanation for how their repeated experiments supported the original findings, given the original data was no longer available. In addition, the animal ethics approval documents provided by the authors for the original study were not satisfactory. The findings of the article were deemed unreliable, and the Editor requested 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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
