Retraction Note: Silencing of long non-coding RNA TUC338 inhibits the malignant phenotype of nasopharyngeal cancer cells via modulating the miR-1226-3p/FGF2 axis.

The article "Silencing of long non-coding RNA TUC338 inhibits the malignant phenotype of nasopharyngeal cancer cells via modulating the miR-1226-3p/FGF2 axis" has been retracted by the authors due to participants receiving treatment in other hospitals before their tissue was collected for analysis, not meeting the study's inclusion criteria. The results and conclusions of the study may not be reliable as a result. The retraction was agreed upon by all authors involved. [Extracted from the article]
