Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This review was written quite informative, but I think the section on antitumor treatments and applications should be expanded. Other issues that need to be corrected in the draft of the article are shown in the pdf file. There are typos and repetitions in the bibliography section, as well as incorrect reference numbers in the main text. These need to be carefully rechecked.
