The authors would like to draw the reader's attention to errors in the following article:
Tsai M‐M, Lin PY, Cheng W‐L, Tsai C‐Y, Chi H‐C, Chen C‐Y, Tseng Y‐H, Cheng Y‐F, Chen C‐D, Liang Y, Liao C‐J, Wu S‐M, Lin Y‐H, Chung I‐H, Wang C‐S, Lin K‐H. Overexpression of ADP‐ribosylation factor 1 in human gastric carcinoma and its clinicopathological significance. Cancer Sci 2012; 103: 1136–44.
In Figure 4(D), two control images (control‐1 and control‐2) were identical. The correct Figure 4(D) image is shown below.
In Table 2, the table header ‘No.’ should read ‘5‐yr S.R.’. The original column for the ‘No.’ header was missing. The correct Table 2 is shown below.
