[Corrigendum] Wnt‑signaling and apoptosis after neoadjuvant short‑term radiotherapy for rectal cancer

Subsequently to the publication of the above article, an interested reader drew to the authors' attention that, for the images shown to represent different immunostaining experiments in Fig. 1B and E (the ‘Group 2’ experiments), the images were overlapping, which seemed to suggest that either the image for β‑catenin or the image for c‑Myc did not accurately represent the results of the experiment in question. After having re‑examined their original data, the authors have realized that an error was inadvertently made during the assembly of this figure; namely, that Fig. 1E showed a section of Fig. 1B at a higher magnification (both images showed β‑catenin immunostaining). The revised version of Fig. 1, correctly showing the results of the β‑catenin immunostaining experiment in Fig. 1B and the c‑Myc immunostaining experiment in Fig. 1E, is shown on the next page. The authors are grateful to the Editor of International Journal of Oncology for allowing them this opportunity to publish a Corrigendum, and all the authors agree with its publication. Furthermore, the authors apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused. [International Journal of Oncology 25: 1543‑1549, 2004; DOI: 10.3892/ijo.25.6.1543]
