Title:Cost-effectiveness of diagnostic laparoscopy for assessing resectability in
pancreatic and periampullary cancer
Version:2Date:7 December 2014
Reviewer: Shailesh Shrikhande
Reviewer's report:
The clear demarcation between pancreatic head cancer v/s other periampullary
tumors is still missing. More relevant data needs to be incorporated to convince
the reader that staging laparoscopy should be the standard of care even for
periampullary tumors.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: Yes, but I do not feel adequately qualified to assess the
statistics.
