Table 1: Source variables.
| Variables | Description |
|---|---|
| Laboratory | Indicates the place where the samples are stored. |
| Creation date | Indicates when the data regarding the samples were registered in the BVTr database. |
| Update date | Indicates when the data regarding the samples was last updated |
| Reference ID | Internal unique identification number, used by the BCR internally and for communication with researchers. |
Table 2: Patient variables.
| Variables | Description |
|---|---|
| SSIN | The social security identification number is a unique patient identification number. It allows linkage with other databases |
| Gender | |
| Age | |
| Patient opposition | Indicates whether the patient opposed to the conservation and use of the residual material. |
Table 3: Technical variables.
| Variables | Description |
|---|---|
| Sample ID | Unique identification number of a tumour sample in the local tumourbank |
| Biopsy number | This number corresponds to the pathology report of the tumour sample |
| Sample date | Indicates the date of sample prelevation |
| Conservation mode | Indicates the temperature and conditions under which samples are stored in the local biobank |
| Conservation delay | Indicates the time elapsed between the moment of prelevation and conservation of the sample |
| Vital state of the patient (at time of resection) | Indicates whether a sample originates from an autopsy or not. |
| Available materials | indicates the types of residual materials, other than the tumour tissue, that have been collected and stored within a short period after or before the tumour prelevation |
| Technical remarks |
Table 4: Oncological variables.
| Variables | Description |
|---|---|
| Sample type | Indicates whether the sample concerns a primary tumour, a metastasis, normal tissue or another sample type |
| Sample localisation | Corresponds to the anatomical localisation of the sample according to the ICD-O classification |
| Sample localisation primary tumour in case of metastasis | If the sample type indicated is a metastasis, the localisation of the primary tumour can be indicated, if available |
| Laterality | For paired organs, tumours can be located on the right or on the left side of the patient's body |
| Morphology | Indicates the tumour cell type (according to the ICD-O classification) and the behaviour of the tumour |
| Degree of differentiation | Corresponds to the degree of aggressiveness of the tumour |
| pTNM and pTNM prefix | Staging parameters indicating the extent of the tumour after resection |
| Oncological remarks | |
| Other | Variables that are being stored by a local biobank and are not part of the standardised dataset of the Belgian Virtual Tumourbank. These variables are not registered |
Table 5: Variable added by the BCR.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| cTNM | Staging parameter indicating the extent of the tumour after clinical diagnosis |
