Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

I found this paper interesting, only few comments are addressed:

  1. Some limitations should be more carefully discussed.
  2. Future and prospective treatment strategies should be briefly mentioned based on the authors' experience.
  3. Please carefully read paper and correct minor language mistakes

Reviewer 2 Report

The study by Hyeok Jun Yun and MinKi Kim et al is an interesting attempt to study the effects of combination of three anticancer drugs on PTC samples. The study is interesting and well written, however some questions need to be addressed before considering the work for publication:

 

  1. The conclusions show beneficial effect of combination of the three drugs, but were there any adverse effects of the combination of drugs?
  2. Patients 1 and 3 have been described as “patients with PTC”. Is it possible to further characterize the subtypes of those cases?

 

Line 335 – Buttumor – a spelling mistake

Line 372 – n – a spelling mistake

Line 377 - Therefore, in this research, we strived to elucidate the cause for the aggressiveness in refractory PTC – this question seems to be not addressed in the manuscript

Line 381 - was reprogrammed reliance on cancer stemness – please rewrite the sentence, so that the meaning is more clear

  1. The conclusions show beneficial effect of combination of the three drugs, but were there any adverse effects of the combination of drugs?

> Reply: Thank you for this comment. Based on, kidney, spleen and hepatic injury did not shown in xenograft models, combination of the three drugs might be no adverse effects.

 

  1. Patients 1 and 3 have been described as “patients with PTC”. Is it possible to further characterize the subtypes of those cases?

> Reply: Both patients had conventional subtypes. There were no specific features except extrathyroidal extension in a specimen from 2 patients and lymphatic involvement in a sample from patient 3. The association between aggressive subtypes (e.g., diffuse sclerosis, solid, tall cell variants) and refractory PTC has not been established but will be investigated in future studies.
