Following the publication of the above paper, it was drawn to the Editors' attention by a concerned reader that one of the tumor images shown in Fig. 4A was strikingly similar to a tumor image appearing in a pair of other articles that had been written by different authors at different research institutes. Owing to the fact that the contentious data in the above article had already been published elsewhere prior to its submission to , the Editor has decided that this paper should be retracted from the Journal. The authors were asked for an explanation to account for these concerns, but the Editorial Office did not receive a reply. The Editor apologizes to the readership for any inconvenience caused.

上述论文发表后，一位关注此事的读者提醒编辑注意，图4A所示的肿瘤图像之一与其他两篇由不同研究机构的不同作者撰写的文章中出现的肿瘤图像极为相似。由于上述文章中存在争议的数据在提交至本刊之前已在其他地方发表，编辑决定将本文从本刊撤回。已要求作者对这些问题作出解释，但编辑部未收到答复。编辑就由此造成的不便向读者致歉。[《肿瘤学报道》36: 2079 - 2086, 2016; DOI: 10.3892/or.2016.5029]
