Abstract
This article breaches important ethical standards [1Chen S.P. Hsu N.Y. Wu J.Y. Chen C.T.Y. Chou M.C. Lee H. Cheng Y.W. Association of p53 codon 72 genotypes and clinical outcome in human papillomavirus-infected lung cancer patients.Ann Thorac Surg. 2013; 95: 1196-1203Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (12) Google Scholar]. The authors provided an incorrect pair of images with their manuscript. Further, one of these incorrectly provided images was reused, unintentionally, without permission from a previous publication of the authors’. The editor and reviewers believe that the information learned from this study addresses an important question and provides important and useful information. In deciding whether or not to retract the paper, the editor felt that the quality of the study and the importance of its conclusions outweighed the ethical transgression. Therefore, a replacement figure has been provided as a corrigendum to the article [2Corrigendum to: Association of p53 codon 72 genotypes and clinical outcome in human papillomavirus-infected lung cancer patients. Chen SP, Hsu NY, Wu JY, Chen CTY, Chou MC, Lee H, Cheng YW.Ann Thorac Surg. 2017; 103: 1363-1364Google Scholar]. The Annals firmly endorses the highest ethical standards, including recommendations from the International Committee on Medical and Journal Editors (ICMJE) and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), and does not condone nor lightly publish studies that violate ethical principles of research.
