Reviewer 2 Report

The manuscript entitled " Mapping evidence on management of cervical cancer in sub-saharan Africa: Scoping and review" is written well and concise.

The authors extensively documented the screening, identification approaches. More importantly the manuscript widely covers about vaccination, barriers to screening, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

This kind of review article are much needed in the field of study to improve the cervical cancer treatment.                      

The manuscript has scientific merit but some points could be improved. I recommend this manuscript for publication after the following corrections and suggestions.

Throughout the manuscript there are several typos, the authors should clearly check the spell checks, space etc...

1. For eg: line number 75 and 85... there should be space "per 100,000".

2. Throughout the manuscript the tables should be numbered and I recommend to put the comprehensive planning in boxes.

3. Some of the sentences are starting with small letters, the authors should change accordingly.

Reviewer 3 Report

Well written and comprehensive review.

It would be relevant if some of the supplemental data can be converted to figures and graphs to be included into the text, for example, inbcidence and mortality rates.

So also screening, coverage with vaccination, completion of chemotherapy and radiation can be represented in graphic form.
