In a paper by Vaccarella et al. published in BMJ in 2024, the funding section was updated to include acknowledgment of support from the Italian Ministry of Health and the independence of the funders. The new statement clarifies that DS and LDM were supported by the Italian Association for Cancer Research and the Italian Ministry of Health. It is emphasized that the funding sources were not involved in the study design, data collection, analysis, interpretation, writing of the report, or decision to submit the article for publication.
