Erratum to: Reverting estrogen-receptor-negative phenotype in HER-2-overexpressing advanced breast cancer patients exposed to trastuzumab plus chemotherapy

The Original Article was published on 07 December 2005

It has been brought to our attention that some paragraphs in the Introduction and Discussion of our recent research article [1] show close similarities to paragraphs in recent publications by Oh et al. [2] and Holloway et al. [3]. While these publications were referenced elsewhere in our paper, the paragraphs which show similarities were not specifically referenced.

We regret this and offer our apologies to the authors.
