Correction to: British Journal of Cancer (2007) 97, 118–122. doi:10.1038/sj.bjc.6603837
Owing to an error by the author in the algorithm for computing red meat intake, the values for the cut points and the hazard ratios and confidence intervals in the bottom-most panel of Table 2 were incorrect.
The correct values are given below.
The authors would like to point out that there is still a positive association of red meat intake with rectal cancer but not with colon cancer or all colorectal cancers. Therefore, the correction does not affect the interpretation presented in the paper.
