iNOS is Associated with Tumorigenicity as an Independent Prognosticator in Human Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma [Retraction]

Abstract

Liu S, Jiang J, Huang L, et al. Cancer Manag Res. 2019;11:8005–8022. We, the Editors and Publisher of Cancer Management and Research, have retracted the published article. Concerns were raised following the authors request to correct Figure 4. It was found images in Figure 4 had been duplicated. Specifically, The images for Figure 4C, 0h, 0 µmol/l and 25 µmol/l, have been duplicated. When approached for an explanation, the authors were cooperative and provided some original data for their study, however, the provided data was not satisfactory, and the results could not be adequately verified. As verifying the validity of the published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article and the authors do not agree with this decision. We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and the COPE guidelines. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
