Retraction Note: Discover Oncology (2025) 16:381 10.1007/s12672-025-02159-1
The Editor‑in‑Chief has retracted this article after an institutional review conducted by Anhui University of Chinese Medicine found the article had been submitted by Hongrong Zhang (the first author) without the consent of Yinfeng Yang. The review also determined that the authorship information provided for Yinfeng Yang was inaccurate and that the authorship list did not accurately reflect individual contributions. Hongrong Zhang has acknowledged mispresenting authorship and providing inaccurate authorship information.
In light of these findings, the Editor‑in‑Chief no longer has confidence in the reliability of the article.
The authors agree with this retraction.
