The article titled, ‘Challenges to Family Caregivers in Caring for Gastric Cancer Patients from the Perspectives of Family Caregivers, Patients and Healthcare Providers: A Qualitative Study’[1] published on 3rd December 2021 in Indian Journal of Palliative Care is being retracted.

It was recently brought to the notice of the Editor in Chief, that the authors of the concerned article had published another article before this article, which had similarity of data, design and overall presentation by the exact same group of authors.[2] Upon investigation, it was found that both the articles are exactly the same baring some minor presentation style. Hence, on the grounds of duplicate publications, the article is being retracted.
