Correction to: Patterns of Referral for Fertility Preservation Among Female Adolescents and Young Adults with Breast Cancer: A Population-Based Study by Korkidakis A,Lajkosz K,Green M,Strobino D,and Velez MP. J Adolesc Young Adult Oncol. 2019;8(2):197–204. DOI: 10.1089/jayao.2018.0102

In the April 2019 issue of Journal of Adolescent and Young Adult Oncology (vol. 8, no. 2; 197–204), the article entitled “Patterns of Referral for Fertility Preservation Among Female Adolescents and Young Adults with Breast Cancer: A Population-Based Study” by Korkidakis et al. requires correction.

There was an error with the p-values in Table 4 and in the corresponding text analysis.

The original text read:

‘‘The characteristics of referring physicians were analyzed (Table 4). General surgeons were responsible for the largest percentage of FP referrals for breast cancer patients (36.5%),followed by medical oncologists (27.0%) and family physicians(20.8%). The difference in referral rates among medical specialties was statistically significant ( p < 0.01). No differences were observed according to physician sex and age.’’

The revised text now reads:

The characteristics of referring physicians were analyzed (Table 4). General surgeons were responsible for the largest percentage of FP referrals for breast cancer patients (36.5%), followed by medical oncologists (27.0%) and family physicians (20.8%). The difference in referral rates among medical specialties was statistically significant (p = 0.01). No differences were observed according to physician age, however female physicians were responsible for a higher proportion of referrals in our sample.
