Following the publication of this article [1], readers drew to our attention that part of the data was unreliable: (1) Figure 3 of this article appeared in another article published in Oncotarget (2014) (DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.1913); (2) the authors reported 20 male cases of cervical cancer in this article and explained that it was a written mistake during the data processing and table drawing. Given all above, we decided to retract this article. Authors were informed of the retraction. We thank the readers for bringing this matter to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience it may cause.
