Title:Multidisciplinary Approaches Vary as to the Role of Endoscopic Ultrasound
(EUS) - Guided Fine Needle Aspiration: Controversial Indications
Version: 4Date:29 July 2011
Reviewer: Silvia Carrara
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript is now more objective and more attractive for the readers.
One only comment: again, the discussion explains the results of the
questionnaire but doesn’t refer to previous international guidelines, and doesn’t
support the results with data, in particular for the management of cystic lesions
(see my previous comment, date 18 May 2011, point 5). The text refers to
controversies between ASGE and ACG, but without any explanations and any
references, please, make it more understandable and add references.
Add references supporting the role of fluid markers analysis for cystic lesions.
The Authors should extend the references and use other published studies to
support their hypothesis in the discussion and in the conclusions.
The conclusions are too long: part of them should be added to the discussion,
and the conclusions re-written.
