Reviewer 2 Report
The Authors outlined, within a comprehensive and interesting review, the current knowledge on image guided radiotherapy for oral cavity tumours. The manuscript is of interest. Few comments below.
1) I feel the manuscript has been organized and drafted mostly as a qualitative review, which is fine. I would, however, try to improve the methodology employed, making explicit the choice undertaken during the draft of the manuscript.
2) Please refer to the PICOTS criteria and frame populations, intervention(s), comparator(s), outcomes, timing, setting.
3) Please provide details of the search strategy employed in the present review paper.
4) I would suggest referring to the PRISMA criteria (please add a PRISMA flow-chart).
5) I would suggest reducing the textual part and add tables to wrap up the main findings and help the reader navigating the data presented.
