The authors have requested that their research
article entitled 'Diagnostic and prognostic value of
contrast-enhanced ultra- sound combined with diffusion-weighted
magnetic resonance imaging in different subtypes of breast cancer'
published in International Journal of Molecular Medicine 42,
105-114, 2018, be retracted. This study was conceived jointly by
the research institute of the authors' hospital (Jilin University
China-Japan Friendship Hospital) and the Second Affiliated Hospital
of Zhengzhou University, and the clinical data were obtained from
the two institutes. It is regrettable that the scientific re-
search unit of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou
University did not authorize the publication of these results, and
the authors have subsequently received an official request from the
Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University to retract this
paper, since the results of their article have in- fringed the
scientific research rights of the third party.
The Editor of International Journal of Molecular
Medicine agrees that the article should be retracted from the
publication in view of the infringement of the scientific rights of
the third party. All the named authors agree to this retraction.
The authors apologize to the Editor and to the readership of the
Journal, and regret any inconvenience this will cause.
