Creating a Clinical Metadata Template for BRCA Pre-Cancer Research

The development of a clinical metadata template is central to the BRCA pre-cancer research initiative, aiming to harmonize and streamline the collection of crucial information related to human patients and biospecimens, such as blood and tissue samples. This template addresses key inquiries:

  • How can we establish a standardized approach to represent and model patient and sample data consistently across a diverse array of project teams operating in multiple institutions?
  • What data elements can be pragmatically collected and standardized across each project team while aligning with the overarching goals of the research consortium?
  • Which clinical phenotypes are of significant value for conducting more in-depth and insightful analyses specific to BRCA pre-cancer research?
