Major Compulsory Revisions (that the author must respond to before a decision on publication can be reached)

Patients' data reported in the manuscript on pages 6 & 7 are different from those in Table 1: 
- Patient #1, pre-operative diagnosis: mucosal (manuscript, page 7, line 15) or T3 (table & manuscript, page 7, line 5) cancer? 
- Patients #2 #3 #4, Time to F/U: 42-47 months (manuscript) or 36-41 months (table)? 
- Patient #5, Time to F/U: 90 months (manuscript) or 84 months (table)? - Patient #7, Time to F/U: 17 months (manuscript) or 11 months (table)? 
Manuscript, Page 10, line 5: esophago-jejunostomy instead of esophago-jununostomy. 
Were potent acid-suppressing medications given after esophagectomy to the study patients? if this 
is the case, which regimen was used & how long after surgery?
