Erratum to: J Gastroenterol DOI 10.1007/s00535-017-1348-8

The errors in the publication of the original article have been updated and the details are given below for your reading:

An article note “Kazuhiko Masuda and Atsushi Ono are the co-first authors” should be included.

The second sentence in the subheading “Results” under the “Abstract” section should read as “High HMGB1 at 4 weeks (P = 0.025), vascular invasion to the hepatic vein (Vv) (P = 0.009), mRECIST (P < 0.0001) and Child–Pugh B (P = 0.004) were identified as independent predictors of poor overall survival in HAIC treatment.”

The original article was corrected.
