We wish to correct a mistake in the abstract and conclusion of our published paper [

The specific wording in the conclusion of the abstract should read "Important differences in EQ-5D utility and VAS scores were similar for all cancers and lung cancer, with the lower end of the range of estimates closer to the MID, i.e. 0.08 for UK-index scores, 0.06 for US-index scores, and 7 for VAS scores. …
