Reviewer 1 Report
Nice study although short follow up. I would like to see more pre/post photos in the paper. It is difficult to treat all patients with same settings (parameters) because not all lesions are the same.
Reviewer 2 Report
The authors propose to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Neodymium: YAG laser 1064 nm treatment in patients with classic and HIV-associated Kaposi's sarcoma.
They conclude that 80% of patients underwent clinical improvement in the study, with better results have been obtained in HIV positive patients and therefore YAG laser is effective and safe in the treatment of classic and epidemic Kaposi's sarcoma, especially in patients with symptomatic, slow-progressing local disease, where other treatment options may be inappropriate.
My assessment is that the overall quality of this article is excellent and should be accepted for publishing with high priority.
