"Detection of K-ras Oncogene Mutations in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid for Lung Cancer Diagnosis"
The Journal introduced an incorrect statement in the methods sections of the text and abstract of this paper without consulting the authors; our mistake inadvertently changed the "n" in the study. We fully recognize the egregiousness of this kind of error, because the printed version can never be corrected and the disservice to the authors can never by fully redressed. The Journal sincerely apologizes to Mills et al. and to Journal readers. Below is the correct version of the full abstract and the correct first sentence of the "Materials and Methods" section.
