Comments:
# In the abstract, page no. 12 and line no. 16, please correct the p-value of SII-PNI score
(p=0.022, 0.046).
# In the results, suggestion is to use symbol * in the significant p-value of Table 2 and 3 and
then describe in the table end the *p-value<0.05 was considered as significant.
# In the results, replace the capital ‘P’’ by small ‘’p’’ for p-value (e.g  page no. 15 and line no.
11 and 12)
# Please check the spelling of tumor. In some places, the author writes ‘’tumour ‘’ (e.g.  Page
no. 15 and line no. 11 and 12) while in Table 3, the author writes ‘’tumor’’.
# In the discussion, please only change the ‘’et al’’ in the italic form not the author name.
