Regarding the article on homeopathy for lung cancer that we criticized, the journal “The Oncologist” has finally published an “Expression of Concern”, which has been online since November 2, 2022.
In August 2022, the journal editors received credible information from the Austrian Agency for Research Integrity about potential data falsification and data manipulation in this article. While The Oncologist editorial team investigates and communicates with the corresponding author, the editors are publishing this Expression of Concern to alert readers that, pending the outcome and review of a full investigation, the research results presented may not be reliable.

We expect that the editors' investigation will reach the same conclusion as the two previous ones.
