We, the Editors and Publisher of Cancer Management and Therapy, have retracted the following article.

Following publication of the article, concerns were raised about the duplication of images from Figures 2, 3 and 4. Specifically,

  • The images for Figure 2A, Control, 30µg/ml, and 90µg/ml have been duplicated with images from Figure 4D, +-0, -+0, -+90 and +-90, respectively.
  • The graph for Figure 3B has been duplicated with the graph for Figure 4G.

When approached for an explanation, the authors were cooperative but were unable to provide a sufficient explanation for the image duplication or provide sufficient original data for their study. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article and the authors do not agree with this decision.

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

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
