We found a crucial error in an earlier paper on cancer in elderly mice, Age distribution of cancer in mice: the incidence turnover at old age (Pompei et al., 2001). That paper's principal data set, the ED01 records, was scrambled when read and analyzed with a statistical software package. Having done our best to correct the error, and having subjected the data to a more exact extension of originally published methods, we arrive at conclusions significantly different from those proposed in the original article. What appeared to be a dramatic fall off of the cancer mortality rate in mice over 2 years of age is now found to be a continuation or flattening of approximately exponential growth. This new finding is entirely at odds with the old, and does not support our later work on humans. Two of this paper's authors, F Pompei and R Wilson, contributed to the original article. We are informing authors who have cited our paper in the past and apologize deeply for any wasted time or lost work. We should have subjected the ED01 records to more error checks. We thank Jennifer Blank for helping us discover and correct this error. The ED01 records and our earlier research are available http://physics.harvard.edu/similar to wilson/cancer&chemicals/ED01.
