Subsequently to the publication of the above article, the authors have realized that Figs. 2 and 6 each contained an incorrectly assembled data panel: Essentially, a couple of the data panels had been inadvertently selected twice for these figures. The corrected versions of Figs 2 and 6, including the correct data for the H&E staining of the tissue of patient 4 in Fig. 2C and the invaded cells of RNAi#2 of the Siha cell line in Fig. 6C, are shown below and on the next page. All the authors agree to the publication of this Corrigendum, and they thank the Editor of Oncology Reports for allowing them the opportunity to publish it. Furthermore, they apologize to the readership for any inconvenience caused. [The original article was published in Oncology Reports 37: 2652‑2662, 2017; DOI: 10.3892/or.2017.5573].
