J Clin Oncol Dahlstrand et al 26:3372
Publisher’s Note
The July 10, 2008, article by Dahlstrand et al entitled, “Disclosure of Incurable Illness to Spouses: Do They Want to Know? A Swedish Population-Based Follow-Up Study” (J Clin Oncol 26:3372-3379, 2008) was published online July 8, 2008 with an error.
In the Abstract results section, the second sentence indicated that widowers were never told, whereas it should have indicated that they were told, as follows:
“Eighty percent of the widowers reported that they were told that the wife’s cancer was incurable, and 21% reported that they had been informed within 1 week before the patient’s death.”
This has been corrected as of August 4, 2008.
