An article by Roberts and associates (1) was discussed in a Letter to the Editor by Padera and colleagues (2) and a Response from Skobe and Godbold (3). The Letter and Response appeared under a title that was not appropriate for both letters. The correct title for the correspondence should be Anti-VEGFR-3 Therapy and Lymph Node Metastasis.
