Description: The Cancer Diagnosis Program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) initiated the Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN) in 1987 to provide increased access to human tissue for basic and applied scientists from academia and industry to accelerate the advancement of discoveries in cancer diagnosis and treatment. This unique resource provides remnant human tissues and fluids from routine procedures to investigators who utilize human biospecimens in their research. Unlike tissue banks, the CHTN works prospectively with each investigator to tailor specimen acquisition and processing to meet their specific project requirements. Because the CHTN is funded by the NCI, the CHTN is able to maintain nominal processing fees for its services. The CHTN is comprised of five adult divisions and one pediatric division. Each of the adult divisions coordinates investigator applications/requests based upon the investigator's geographic location within North America. The Pediatric Division manages all investigators who request pediatric specimens only. The CHTN divisions share coordination for requests from outside North America. The CHTN divisions work both independently with individual investigators and together as a seamless unit to fulfill requests that are difficult to serve by any single division. The CHTN's unique informatics system allows each division to effectively communicate and network the needs of its investigators to all CHTN divisions. The Network as a whole can then help fulfill an investigator's request. Biospecimens from surgeries, autopsies and other routine procedures: Malignant, Benign, Diseased, Normal, Biofluids (urine, serum, plasma, buffy coat) High quality specimens at LOW processing fees: Fresh, Frozen, Floating in fixative, RNAlater, Paraffin embedded or and/or unstained slides
