The data included in the published version of Figure 1 was incorrect; duplicate data for 2 of the 3 genetic tests (Oncotype DX and epidermal growth factor receptor) was inadvertently presented. The corrected version of the figure is below with the revised data for epidermal growth factor receptor testing.

Figure 1

Stakeholder answers (during the meeting) to “At this time, what recommendation would you make regarding: (a) Oncotype DX; (b) Lynch syndrome; (c) EGFR.” EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor.

In the Results section of the Abstract, the second sentence was given as: “Following the discussion, survey results reflected even less confidence for Oncotype DX and epidermal growth factor receptor mutation testing, but not for Lynch syndrome testing.” It should have read: “Following the discussion, survey results reflected less confidence for Oncotype DX, intermediate levels of confidence for epidermal growth factor receptor mutation testing and stable levels of confidence for Lynch syndrome testing.”

The authors regret these errors.
