Correction to: British Journal of Cancer (2018) 119, 282–290; 10.1038/s41416-018-0169-8; published online 11 July 2018.

The authors have noticed in Table 4 that the MT and P-value columns which should have appeared below the heading ‘Late sequelae independent of recurrent timepoint‘ have erroneously been listed under the ‘Late sequelae before recurrence‘ heading. The correct format of Table 4 is shown below.

Table 4.
