Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The authors described the treatment of rare mutations in patients with lung cancer thoroughly. This review article seems to be informative and well summarized.

One thing I regret is  that this sort of reviews normally deals with many  topics, so the content seems to be narrating and sort of boring.

The addition of some figures about the characteristics of specific genes or clinical manifestations of a certain type of lung cancer would make the article more interesting. 

When it comes to Figure 2, the detail should be included in figure or legends.  

I recommend the addition of NTRK gene related lung cancer's clinical characteristics.

Thank you for your positive feedback.

Thank you for your feedback. Due to the nature of this review, and taking into account its' restrictions (many topics, words count, etc.), we thought that adding two figures and two tables would be sufficient.

 

"When it comes to Figure 2, the detail should be included in figure or legends."

Corrected. Descriptive details were added under the Figure 2.

 

"I recommend the addition of NTRK gene related lung cancer's clinical characteristics"

Corrected. This information was added in 2.4.1 section

Reviewer 2 Report

Comprehensive and well-organized review of a relevant topic, with helpful and concise figures/tables. I would suggest adding the citation that one of the authors themselves left in a comment.
