This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief and Authors. The authors recently discovered two programming errors that affected the results in their article on the epidemiology of esophageal and stomach cancers in human immunodeficiency virus infected people. As a result of these errors, the standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were too high. The corrected SIRs are all lower than the authors reported, and the corrected SIR for stomach cancer is no longer significantly elevated. These errors affect Tables 2-5 in the paper. Because the new findings alter the conclusions, the editors and authors have jointly made the decision to retract the paper. The authors would like to express their sincere regret at the errors in their initial report and any inconvenience or confusion that they created. The corrected results may be obtained by contacting the corresponding author, Dr. Eric A. Engels, by email at engelse@exchange.nih.gov.
请参阅爱思唯尔关于文章撤回的政策（http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy）。应主编和作者的要求，本文已被撤回。作者最近发现两个编程错误，这些错误影响了他们关于人类免疫缺陷病毒感染者中食管癌和胃癌流行病学的文章中的结果。由于这些错误，标准化发病比（SIR）过高。校正后的 SIR 均低于作者报告的结果，并且胃癌的校正 SIR 不再显著升高。这些错误影响了本文中的表 2-5。由于新的发现改变了结论，编辑和作者共同决定撤回该论文。作者对其初始报告中的错误以及由此造成的任何不便或混淆表示诚挚的歉意。通过电子邮件联系通讯作者 Eric A. Engels 博士，可获得更正后的结果，邮箱地址为 engelse@exchange.nih.gov。
