Bone mineral density of lumbar spine and femur in patients with gynecologic cancer
S. Chun and Y. I. Ji
The Editors and Publisher regret to announce that the following article published online in 2013 has been retracted at the request and agreement of the first author, on behalf of all authors, from publication in Climacteric:
Chun S, Ji YI. Bone mineral density of lumbar spine and femur in patients with gynecologic cancer. Climacteric 2013; Epub December 5. (DOI: 10.3109/13697137.2013.861815).
S. Chun writes:
Upon reviewing, similarity was noticed between ‘Different bone mineral density in cervical and endometrial cancer’ by E.S. Lee and colleagues which is accepted manuscript for publication in this journal (Climacteric) and my article.
Both articles are based on data collected from the same clinical practice of HY Kim, MD.
I am writing to withdraw the article before it is finally printed in the Journal in order that a potentially overlapping and undesirable publication would be avoided and our professional ethics be upheld.
On behalf of all the co-authors, I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to you.
The article is herewith withdrawn from all print and electronic editions.
