Title: The effect of BMI on long-term outcome in patients with rectal cancer and establishment
of a nomogram prediction model

Reviewer:  Marcello Picchio
Reviewer's report:
The study aimed to assess the role of both over- and under-weight status in the post-operative
survival in patients submitted to surgery for rectal cancer. The limited number of both under-
weight and obese patient does not allow to perform an appropriate multivariate analysis, so that
the results are not significant.
