Corrections Issued for Nature Articles on Cancer Research
LONDON, UK – Recent publications in Nature have been subject to corrections, addressing errors in experimental models and data presentation. These corrections involve a November 6, 2024, article concerning colon cancer and a May 18, 2022, article focused on breast cancer. Simultaneously, a Nature Medicine study highlights that nearly half of all cancer cases may be preventable through lifestyle changes.
The November 6, 2024, article, which focused on colibactin-driven colon cancer, required corrections to labeling errors in Figures 2 and 3. Specifically, the labels for the genes fimH and fmlH were incorrectly identified in several panels of the figures, according to multiple news sources. The original article explored the role of pathogens in colon cancer experimental models.
The May 18, 2022, article, which focused on PHGDH heterogeneity in breast cancer, also required corrections. These corrections addressed assembly inaccuracies in the Extended Data figures, although the raw data in the Supplementary Information remained accurate. The authors refined the labeling of uncut western blots provided in the Supplementary Information to ensure clarity.
Alongside these corrections, a Nature Medicine study emphasized the potential for cancer prevention. According to multiple news sources, this study indicated that nearly half of all cancer cases are potentially preventable through lifestyle changes. Tobacco, infections, and alcohol were identified as major modifiable risk factors. The study underscores the importance of preventative measures and metabolic/immune health.
