Primary Liver Cancer
Version: 4 Date: 07 May 2025
Reviewer's report:
The authors show several patients who underwent hemothorax after RFA. They indicate several
factors related to postoperative hemothorax such as tumor location, platelet count, liver or chest
surgery history, and so on. In Particular, case 7 is rare. This report is highly suggestive and
meaningful clinically. There are some minor points to be revised before this manuscript is
published.
1. Please mention the total number of RFA and the incidence rate of hemothorax.
2. Please mention the number of HCC. One tumor in all patients? And can you add the tumor
size as well?
