Title:Rectal laterally spreading tumors successfully treated in two steps by
endoscopic submucosal dissection and Endoscopic Mucosal Resection
Version: 5Date:21 June 2010
Reviewer: Hiroyuki Imaeda
Reviewer's report:
Stroppa et al. revised the manuscript about usefulness of treatment by combined
ESD and EMR for giant flat adenomas of rectum. But authors did not answer
some of my comments, especially major problem No. 1.
The major problems
1. Authors mentioned that two-three large pieces not less than 3 cm in diameter
were obtained. However, authors showed excised lesion less than 2cm in
diameter in Figure 3e. Authors should show larger excised lesions.
Level of interest: An article of limited interest
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
