This article published in Pathology and Oncology Research, has been retracted at the request of Editor-in-Chief and the authors Hasibe Verdi, Yaprak Yilmaz-Yalcin, A. C. Yazici and Fatma-Belgin Atac. The reasons for the retraction of the article are:-
There are substantial parts in the article that were previously published in the article: “Involvement of Toll-like receptors in cervical cancer susceptibility among Tunisian women” by Sabrina Zidi, Hasibe Verdi, Yaprak Yilmaz-Yalcin, A.C. Yazici, Ezzedine Gazouani, Amel Mezlini, Fatma-Belgin Atac, Besma Yacoubi-Loueslati, Bulletin du Cancer, 2014; 101: E31-E35, DOI: 10.1684/bdc.2014.2037. Although the article published in Pathology and Oncology Research uses a larger control group the two papers have very similar content, addressing the same problem with the same methodology and the differences in the articles were considered too minor.
