In the above published paper, an error occurred in which in line 2.101 of the results section displayed ‘ERα protein’ when it should be ‘ERβprotein’. Therefore, the sentence should read:
We have found previously that ERα and aromatase are expressed in human lung tumors (1). ERβ protein using antibodies developed for breast cancer analysis is rarely detected in primary lung tumors and is thought to mainly consist of truncated proteins that may not be functional because ERα−specific agonists do not show significant effects on gene transcription or cell proliferation in lung cancer cells (3).
