Biobanking in Molecular Biomarker Research for the Early Detection of Cancer
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Given the importance of biobanking, this paper is a rare and timely paper.
- Let's add a difference in terms of utility between general biobanking and biobanking specialized in specific diseases.
- Could you recommend general collection protocols in liquid biopsies in examples ?
- It is needed the principle of quality control and real method.
- What is the maximum amount of time you can expose to room temperature?
- How about adding biobanking services to help researchers in other countries?

Reviewer 2 Report
Biobanking in molecular biomarker research for the early detection of cancer is an interesting manuscript for those interested in validating biomarkers. Nevertheless, examples regarding usefulness in the cancer area would enrich the paper.
More illulstrative diagrams with clinical implications in sample collection and processing would improve the quality of the manuscript.
A brief description of translational medicine application of biobanks for molecular biomarkers would attrack more readers
