Title: Endoscopic ultrasonography guided cutting scar of esophageal stricture after endoscopic
injection sclerotherapy
Version: 0 Date: 09 Apr 2022
Reviewer's report:
The authors have reported a case of endoscopic resection of a giant esophageal dedifferentiated
liposarcoma using an endoscope-guided snare. Certainly, esophageal dedifferentiated
liposarcoma is a very rare disease. Although they showed a relatively good short-term outcome
of this procedure, there seems to be a lack of novelty and no consideration of concerns about
the oncological safety of their procedure.
1. The efficacy and safety of incisional therapy for benign refractory esophageal stricture
have already been fully validated. It was not clear how the endoscopic ultrasonography-guided
incision therapy performed by the authors showed an advantage over the existing incision
therapy.
2. The small number of cases and the short observation period are factors that lack
persuasiveness, and I think it is necessary to make medium- to long-term observations with a
larger number of cases.
3. The text structure of this study is too childish and typographical errors are very noticeable.
Therefore, I have to say that it does not form the body of a scientific paper. Proofreading in
native English should be done.
4. Most of the references were articles published in local minor journals, and only 5 out of 16
articles were searchable in Pubmed. You should avoid citing a lot of hard-to-find literature in
many areas.
Therefore, this reviewer considers that this study is not suitable for publication in BMC
Gastroenterology, as it is.
