Retraction to: Cancer Gene Therapy

https://doi.org/10.1038/s41417-018-0065-7 Published online 25 December 2018

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. Concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically:

Figure 3B: the HGC-27 L-miR498 panel appears to have a number of repeated features

Figure 3B: the AGC L-miR498 panel appears to have a number of repeated features

Figure 5D: the HGC-27 L-miR498 & pc/+ panel appears to have a number of repeated features

Figure 5E: the AGC L-miR498 & pc/+ panel appears to have a number of repeated features

The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the reliability of the data reported in the article. The authors have not responded to correspondence regarding this retraction.
