Dataset related to article "Influence of Isolation Techniques on the Quality of Plasma Samples: Implications for Cancer Biobanking"

This dataset includes the measurements performed to evaluate the impact of two plasma isolation methods—direct centrifugation (DC) and density gradient centrifugation (DGC)—on the quality of breast cancer samples collected at the Bruno Boerci Biobank (Maugeri, Italy). The data includes measurements related to hemolysis, lipemia, protein and lipoprotein composition, cellular debris, and platelet contamination. The dataset underscores the importance of standardized preanalytical procedures in biobanking for reproducible analyses, to support the advancement of precision oncology research and the identification of novel therapeutic targets in cancer. It is a valuable resource for future studies in liquid biopsy and cancer biomarker discovery.
