Following publication of the original article [1], the author reported a mistake related to a percentage. In page 5 the sentence “Two (6.1%) patients achieved a complete response, 16 (48.5%) achieved a partial response, 11 (33.3%) had stable disease, one (0.3%) had progressive disease, and in three patients (9.1%), response was undeterminable.” should be replaced with “Two (6.1%) patients achieved a complete response, 16 (48.5%) achieved a partial response, 11 (33.3%) had stable disease, one (3.0%) had progressive disease, and in three patients (9.1%), response was undeterminable.” (3.0% instead of 0.3%).

The publisher apologizes for any inconvenience caused by this error.
