Overview
SarcBOP - An interdisciplinary and translational registry
SarcBOP aims to establish a database that integrates every aspect possibly relevant to sarcoma treatment and research. SarcBOP thus will not be limited to specific questions or patient groups, but instead will build a comprehensive database including clinical, pathologic, and radiologic information, multi-layered molecular data, and patient-reported outcomes, combined with a dedicated biobank for tissue samples and liquid biopsies. As the study integrates seamlessly with the clinical activities of the Heidelberg Sarcoma Center, the Molecular Diagnostics Program of NCT Heidelberg, including the NCT/DKTK MASTER Program, and with the NCT Trial Center, including the PMO Clinical Trials Program, SarcBOP will generate a comprehensive and continuously growing resource for clinicians, researchers, and, finally, patients.
Description
The following data are collected and stored:
- Demographics
- Comorbidities
- Clinical characteristics at diagnosis, relapse and progression
- Radiologic images
- Histological images
- Treatments including DRG and OPS data, including detailed information on surgical, radiation, and medical therapy as well as treatment relevant follow-up data
- Longitudinal disease assessments
- Clinical outcome
- Genomic, transcriptomic, epigenomic and proteomic data
- Patient reported outcomes
Furthermore, biological samples are collected and processed by the Sample Processing Laboratory of the Heidelberg Center for Personalized Oncology and the NCT Biobank.
