First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

In our previous publication [1], Figure 4 involved the analysis of chemotherapy-response signatures (as carried out independently by author AP and described in a 2006 Nature Medicine article [2,3]). It has recently been determined that the chemotherapy-response signatures in [2] are not reproducible, causing retraction of that article [3]. As such, the results presented in Figure 4 of our original paper [1] are no longer valid.
