Title: Endoscopic resection for esophageal granular cell tumors: report of 62 cases
Version: 3 Date: 28 Sep 2024
Reviewer's report:
The authors presented “Endoscopic resection for esophageal granular cell tumors: report of
62 cases”. You have done excellent study! However, I have some concerns following below
comments.
Major:
1) What is the accuracy rate of EUS depth? Pathological depth is final depth. Is EUS depth in
accordance with pathological depth?
2) You reported the strategy of endoscopic treatment according to the origin layer of esophageal
GCTs, which depends on EUS depth. Is there any characteristic endoscopic finding according
pathological depth or EUS depth?
Minor:
1) Please check if what you wrote in the Figure Legends section is correct.
