Answers to the reviewer 1 1. The authors take our comments to consideration? "Answer: This research was done almost three years ago, it’s my negligence that have lost the figures of gel running and sequencing results because of my computer paralysis. " It means the authors are not ready to publish the article until they could repair the computer? Answer: Firstly, I will apologize my negligence. Then, the reviewer misunderstood my meaning. Here, I try to explain. I have done this research almost 3 years ago, and my computer was paralyzed during that time, unfortunately, the figures of gel running and sequencing results have lost. After that, I have bought a new computer, but I couldn't find the figures back. I hope this will make it acceptable for publication and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

An effective cover letter Dear Dr Zhou, Please find enclosed our manuscript entitled “Localized biphasic type malignant mesothelioma arising in the peritoneum: Report of a case”, by Kohno et al. , which we would like to submit for publication as a Case report in Thoracic Cancer. Localized malignant mesothelioma is an uncommon circumscribed tumor of the serosal membrane with the microscopic appearance of diffuse malignant mesothelioma, but without any evidence of infiltration. … This report describes a rare case of localized malignant biphasic (mixed epithelioid and sarcomatoid) mesothelioma arising in the peritoneum. A 69 -year-old male with a history of asbestos exposure, complaining of a painful mass of left chest wall, was found to have a tumor of left peritoneum on computed tomography (CT). The resected tumor was histologically consistent with a malignant mesothelioma with mixed epithelioid and sarcomatoid type and no distant metastasis. The diagnosis of localized malignant biphasic mesothelioma arising in the peritoneum was appropriate because there was no evidence of any other primary tumor. We believe our findings would appeal to a broad audience, such as the readership of Thoracic Cancer. All authors have read and approved the manuscript. We hope that you find our study worthy of publication. Please address all correspondence to…. 背景介绍 本文新意 对期刊读者群的 帮助
