Abstract
[This retracts the article DOI: 10.3892/ol.2016.5093.].
Highlights
Following the publication of this article, an interested reader drew to our attention that the flow of the text, and the wording of numerous passages of text within the article, bore striking and unexpected similarities to the wording employed in a PhD thesis by Rainer Tuominen of the Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, in 2015 called “Genetic and Epigenetic Alterations in Melanoma”
After having conducted an internal investigation, the Editor of Oncology Letters has determined beyond all reasonable doubt that the review submitted to the Journal shared an unacceptable level of identity with the PhD thesis by Rainer Tuominen
We thank the reader for bringing this matter to our attention
