Following publication of the original article [1], the author identified an error in Fig. 2, specifically:

• Figure 2: clonogenic assays

Fig. 2.

MSTO, Met5A, HCT-116 and HFF colony formation capacity upon CF treatment. Five hundred viable cells, pretreated for 48 h with CF (1:200) and CNTRL, were allowed to grow in normal medium for 10–14 days and then stained by crystal violet solution. The image is representative of three independent experiments

Furthermore, the sentence ‘Colony formation was absent in HCT-116 and MSTO-211, while yields of HFF and Met-5A colonies were not affected.’ under CF reduces the clonogenic survival of MSTO-211 and HCT-116 cell lines of Results section should be updated to ‘Colony formation was reduced in HCT-116 and MSTO-211, while yields of HFF and Met-5A colonies were not affected.’

This correction does not change the result, interpretation, and conclusions of the study.
