Buenos Aires, October 23rd, 2018.Prof. Dr. Scott Anthony LeMaireEditor-in-ChiefJournal of Surgical ResearchDear Professor LeMaire,As the senior author of the manuscript, I am submitting a Letter to the Editor in responseto the recently published article by Nakaseko and colleagues entitled ?Impact of fresh frozenplasma transfusion on postoperative inflammation and prognosis of colorectal liver metastases?(June 2018, Volume 226, pp 157-165), to be considered for publication in the Journal of SurgicalResearch.We consider that the present correspondence is in compliance with the requirements andpublication criteria of the Journal given that it favors open scientific dialogue while addressingkey issues in metastatic colorectal cancer surgery such as blood transfusion and its impact onlong-term patient outcomes, its effect on perioperative cancer biology and inflammation, andpossible therapeutic approaches. In addition, we think that the letter could be interesting to thebroad readership, including surgeons as well as preclinical and clinical researchers.Kind regards.Sincerely yours,Daniel F.
