Tumor Tissue Core FacilityThe Tissue Core Facility supports research studies evaluating tumor biology and its implications for treatment. The Tissue Core Facility is comprised of the Tumor Bank and the Advanced Tumor Bank. Tumor Bank The Tumor Bank stores fresh tissue excised in the course of standard operations to remove tumors. Samples are derived from remnant tissues not necessary for diagnostic or treatment related purposes. In addition, leukemia and bone marrow samples are also collected. The following tissues are currently available for research purposes in the Tumor Bank: Tissue Search Engine Indexes for samples currently available
Tissues sorted by anatomical site of collection
Tissues sorted by patient diagnosis
Advanced Tumor Bank The Advanced Tumor Bank functions in the same way as the Tumor Bank except that additional information related to the samples is available to researchers. All Advanced Tumor Bank participants have consented to the donation of tissue, blood and/or body fluids as well as the release of demographic information. Giving researchers the ability to access medical histories associated with the samples helps to enhance research protocols by offering valuable information previously unavailable to them. The following tissues are currently available in the Advanced Tumor Bank: Advanced Tumor Bank Tissues The above indexes are exported daily from the tissue database. Only entries with available tissues (not dispensed or reserved) are listed.
