Title: Clinicopathological and prognostic significance of stromal cell derived factor 2 in the
patients with gastric cancer
Version: 3 Date: 03 Sep 2024
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for providing the additional data.
The new data significantly strengthen the overall argument of the manuscript, but further
investigation is needed to clarify SDF2 protein expression level in GS tissue samples.
You presented two GC tissues in Fig 1E, but are they at the same magnification ?
It seems to me that the magnifications are different, although the scale bars are the same.
There seems to be little difference in SDF2 protein expression between  the right GS sample and
the normal tissue. Could you please show the data from more tissues and provide a statistical
analysis ?
