Reviewer 3 Report

Teo et al. revised the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis, prognostication and in treatment resistance of soft tissue sarcomas (STS). They analyzed in detail the implications of miRNAs for the most frequent tumors (GIST, LPS, RMS, LMS and SS). For the treatment resistance, literature evidence is cited for imatinib, vincristine/entinostat and doxorubicin. The authors discussed the potential use and limitations of miRNA regarding the use in treatment of STS.

The manuscript is very well organized including explanatory figures and tables that facilitate the comprehension of this topic to the reader.

Minor correction

In Table 1 there is a full line under “Liposarcoma” that should be shortened in order to include “Inhibit” and “Promote” associated with “Liposarcoma”.
