Title:Meta-analysis: preoperative transcatheter arterial chemoembolization does
not improve prognosis of patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma
Version: 1Date:15 February 2013
Reviewer: Piero Luigi Almasio
Reviewer's report:
I have no major comments about the paper; the only concern is related to the
countries of origin of the analyzed studies. Apart only three form Europe, all the
others come from Asia. This aspect should be commented by the authors in
terms of generalizability of the results.
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
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.
