The articles were published by the Springer Nature publishing company in the journal Tumor Biology, between 2012 and 2016.

The publisher said it found that the papers, which are required to be peer-reviewed, had been submitted to reviewers who had fake email addresses.
"We are retracting these published papers because the peer review process required for publication in our journals had been deliberately compromised by fabricated peer reviewer reports," Springer Nature said in a statement on RetractionWatch.com (http://retractionwatch.com/2017/04/20/new-record-major-publisher-retracting-100-studies-cancer-journal-fake-peer-reviews/#more-49484).
