Retraction: “Radioimmunotherapy of small‐volume disease of metastatic colorectal cancer: results of a phase II trial with the iodine‐131–labeled humanized anti–carcinoembryonic antigen antibody hMN‐14,” by Behr TM, Liersch T, Greiner‐Bechert L, Griesinger F, Béhé M, Markus PM, Gratz S, Angerstein C, Brittinger G, Becker H, Goldenberg DM, Becker W. 1 The above article, published online on February 12, 2002, in Wiley Online Library ( wileyonlinelibrary.com ), has been retracted by agreement amongst the authors, the journal Editor‐in‐Chief, Fadlo R. Khuri, Wiley Periodicals, Inc., and the American Cancer Society. The article was submitted for publication by the corresponding author, Thomas M. Behr, on the assumption that all co‐authors had agreed to the submission. However, the journal was informed on February 2, 2015, that 4 co‐authors on the paper had not consented to the submission and subsequent publication of this manuscript. Furthermore, an external evaluation commissioned by one of the co‐authors of the study protocol, patient follow‐up, and study results published in the manuscript has led to the conclusion that 6 of the 30 patients were invented and that follow‐up studies in 10 of the 30 patients were not performed or contradict patient data published in the manuscript. Based on these findings and at the request of the co‐authors who did not consent to publication, the Publisher has agreed to retract this manuscript.Behr , T.
