Title: The epidemiological trends of biliary tract cancers in the United States of America
Version: 1 Date: 08 Nov 2022
Reviewer's report:
The authors provide an epidemiological review of the biliary tract cancers in United States using
SEER data. Overall, writing and the presentation of the findings is acceptable. However, from
the analytical point of view, there are a few things that could be added to the manuscript. First,
including Incidence Rate Ratios (available within SEER*Stat) to compare incidence rates by sex
or race will add statistical comparisons to the incidence rates. Also, adding a survival analysis
to identify risk factors for survival will provide additional insight into these types of cancers.
