Title: Prognostic Value of Tumor Deposits and Positive Lymph Nodes in Colorectal Cancer
Surgery: Improved Staging for Long-Term Prognosis
Version: 3 Date: 18 Aug 2024
Reviewer's report:
My review comments are as follows:
1. The full name of MSIH is not provided before its first abbreviation appears.
2. What does "In the current staging system" refer to? The 7th AJCC staging system is outdated,
and discussing past staging criteria no longer holds practical significance.
3. There are too many opinions or conclusions of others in the article that lack supporting
literature. Please provide corresponding references. For example, "Studies from France's IDEA
and Mayo Clinic show that TDs have a harmful effect in both N1a/b and N2 patients." and "the
presence of TD indicates that the patient's clinical stage is at least stage III."
4. Annotations are needed on Figure 2's survival curves to indicate which line represents which
type.
In summary, I believe this study provides a detailed analysis of TD, but there are still deficiencies
in the paper that require revisions
