Title:Endoscopic optical diagnosis provides high diagnostic accuracy of
esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Version:1Date:9 June 2014
Reviewer: Yasuhiro Shirakawa
Reviewer's report:
Minor Essential Revisions
1) Endoscopic examination and biopsy in METHODS- I understood that only
single biopsy specimen was taken from each lesion for histological diagnosis in
this study. If it is true, the author should describe it in METHODS.
2) Figures- The order of figure legends doesn’t match the order of figures. The
author should correct it.
Discretionary Revisions
1) Endoscopic examination and biopsy in METHODS- The author had better use
“Magnified Endoscopic Classification for Superficial Esophageal Squamous Cell
Carcinoma–Classification of Japan Esophageal Society” for the diagnosis using
NBI, if possible.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
Declaration of competing interests:
I declare that I have no competing interests.
