Neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a comprehensive treatment in patients with laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma
We, the Editor and Publisher of Acta Oto-Laryngologica, have retracted the following article:
Xian-Feng Wei, Akanksha Srivastava, Peng Lin, Li Li, Shengchi Zhang, Xin Peng, Chuan Liu, Limei Liu, Li-rong Wu, Guo-jun Li and Yun-Cheng Li. (2020). Neoadjuvant chemotherapy as a comprehensive treatment in patients with laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma. Acta Oto-Laryngologica. DOI: 10.1080/00016489.2020.1737330
The authors have requested retraction of their article due to a mistake in the experimental design of the study. It was found that certain patients, those who could not tolerate the mTPF chemotherapy and were actually given only mTP regimens, were misclassified as the mTPF group.
We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions. The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as “Retracted”.
