Title:A case of rectal tumor in which the shape altered with regression in short
period
Version: 1Date:15 June 2013
Reviewer: Ulrich Keilholz
Reviewer's report:
Nakamura and colleagues present an exciting case of an almost complete
spontaneous regression of a biopsy-verified rectal carcinoma. The case is
impressibly well documented and very well described. It is a singular unusual
case, but because of the precise clinical and histological documentation the case
is of high interest. The description od this case provides food for thought to
develop hypotheses on potential mechanisms of spontaneous cancer regression.
The manuscript reads well, although minor linguistic corrections by a native
English speaker would be helpful.
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:
