A project to repeat experiments from high-impact papers in cancer biology found that the effects observed in replications were frequently weaker than, or inconsistent with, the effects reported in the original papers.
Results from the Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology provide a picture of the rate of false positives in cancer preclinical research, but it is still not clear if research in this field is less reproducible than it should be.

A project to repeat experiments from high-impact papers in cancer biology did not complete all replications, with challenges ranging from mundane reasons to unexpected methodological issues.
As the final outputs of the Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology are published, it is clear that preclinical research in cancer biology is not as reproducible as it should be.

A project to repeat experiments from high-impact papers in cancer biology encountered a series of challenges, many of which were caused by a lack of detail in the original papers.
