Title: Survival analysis of stage II gastric cancer patients after D2 gastrectomy: A Chinese
people-based research
Version: 4 Date: 31 Jul 2021
Reviewer's report:
Age#60, linitis plastica or T4 were risk factors for prognosis independent from the administration
of adjuvant chemotherapy. This means that patients with Age#60, linitis plastica or T4 have poor
prognosis even if they receive adjuvant chemotherapy. Therefore, the conclusion that patients
with these risk factors should receive adjuvant chemotherapy for prolonging overall survival
time is not justifiable.
In the Discussion section (p11, Line 7-9), “T” needs to be corrected to “N”.
T1N3b in the 8th edition AJCC which is classified to stage IIIB is classified to T1N3 and Stage
4 in the 6th edition AJCC. In other words, T1N3b in the 8th edition is not originally included in
stage II in the 6th edition AJCC, so please delete T1N3b in Page 11, Line 9.
