Erratum: Inflammation and preneoplastic lesions in benign prostate as risk factors for prostate cancer

Correction to: Modern Pathology (2012) 25, 1023–1032; doi: 10.1038/modpathol.2012.51; published online 30 March 2012

In this article, due to a coding error in our analyses, we reported a number of incorrect values in Tables 2 and 4. The corrected tables are below. Please note that the majority of changes in our results are nominal and do not substantively affect our conclusions. In one instance (Table 4, ‘presence of atrophy’), a significant result has become nonsignificant; we note, however, that the main finding among the variables within this category—an association with ‘simple atrophy’—remains significant in the corrected analysis. We apologize for these errors.
