Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsDear authors,
The research article “Monitoring Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Progression According to Reactive Oxygen Metabolite Derivative Levels” by Sawai et al. is interesting, and I believe that readers would benefit from it. Having said that, your original submission has some potential for improvement, and some of the issues need to be addressed, for which I recommend minor revision. I've included a few of them below:
A brief description of the role of oxidative stress and cancer/colorectal cancer development could be included in the introduction section:

Please provide better images (with higher resolution) for Figures 1 and 2.
I was wondering if the authors obtained any informed consent for this trial (please see the details https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5980471/)
