We, the Editor and Publisher of the journal Cancer Management and Research, have retracted the following article.

Following publication of the article, concerns were raised about the duplication of images from Figure 3 with images from an unrelated article. Specifically,

  • Images for Figure 3C and 3D have been duplicated with images for Figure 2c, 2d and 2h from Cao Q, Liu F, Ji K, et al. MicroRNA-381 inhibits the metastasis of gastric cancer by targeting TMEM16A expression. J Exp Clin Cancer Res. 2017;36:29. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13046-017-0499-z.

The authors responded to our queries but were unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the duplicated images or provide satisfactory data for the study. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, the Publisher and Editor requested to retract the article and the authors agree with this decision. The authors wish to apologize for any inconvenience caused to the journal and readers.

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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
