Recommended Clinical Context and Patient Context Data Elements for Liquid Biopsy Data Submitted to Data Repositories and Data Commons

In 2020, BLOODPAC recommended 11 pre-analytical minimal technical data elements for collection and submission of liquid biopsy data to public databases. This article expands on that work by recommending 22 clinical context and 10 patient context data elements. These elements, essential for liquid biopsy data submitted to repositories like the BLOODPAC Data Commons, cover tumor characteristics, disease progression, and patient demographics, supporting biomarker validation, research, and clinical trials.
