THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 9, 2023. In this web site you will find the central European database of OECI-TuBaFrost collecting the information of biobanks or in the project support environment on human material; i.e., frozen tumor tissue specimens, pathology blocks, blood samples in different forms, cell lines, Tissue Micro Arrays, etc. Our goal is by centralizing the tumor tissues information to facilitate the search of doctors / researchers for tumor materials, which they need for their cancer research there with facilitating cancer research. OECI members only can participate in the OECI-TuBaFrost exchange platform, or those introduced by an OECI member. We are a group of pathology and research departments as well as bio-bankers in clinical based biobanking based in comprehensive cancer centers or hospitals with a competence in comprehensive cancer care across Europe. Each participating institute is involved in cancer research resulting in innovative procedures, new drugs, improved diagnosis and new insights in disease development. The overall result is better care and treatment for cancer patients. To maximize the scientific value of the human tissue samples, information about the clinical status of the patient in combination with the quality and type of samples is very important. A TuBaFrost electronic database will securely store all this information. Within the closed project supporting environments, the data collected will include: * Diagnosis - identification of the type of cancer * Type of tissue collected - the origin, i.e. breast, skin, colorectal * Quality of tissue collected - collection and storage details The tissue is stored in the hospital where the donor was diagnosed/treated. It stays there until it is used or sent to another hospital or research center within the TuBaFrost group. The electronic database will track samples throughout the network. The tissue is not sold. The exchange of tissue to other hospitals is regulated by a contract, which uses the national regulations of the country supplying the tissue. Tissue samples within the TuBaFrost collection will only be used for research, which has been approved by ethics committees. This ensures that the tissue is only used for the best quality research and only for the specific reasons given to the ethics committee.

http://www.rrcancer.ca/en/publique/accueil

An infrastructure to allow Quebec researchers to have at their disposal tumor banks and the services that support large scale research in genomics and proteomics. The database and the tissue bank of the research network was created to allow rapid access to biological samples and their clinical data. It is spread out over many hospital institutions (in Montreal, Quebec and Sherbrooke). The members of the RRCancer-BTD supply normal, benign and malignant samples from routine surgeries and blood tests. Blood and tissue samples are collected by the provincial biobanks on a regular basis and are coded, classified and stored. The samples can be supplied to a researcher either fresh or frozen or blocks of paraffin or on slices. The sharing of information and biological material is managed according to ethical rules and contributes to increasing the value of research in Quebec. The network has mobilized a significant number of researchers in the area of cancer that unite their efforts to pursue high caliber multidisciplinary research. They are a group of researchers from many different Qu��bec Universities all working in the branch of cancer research. They are located in four hospital centers in Quebec, namely the University of Montreal Hospital Centre (CHUM), the University of Quebec Hospital Centre (CHUQ), the University of Sherbrooke Hospital Centre (CHUS) and the McGill University Hospital Centre (CUSM), as well as in the affiliated research and university centers (Sacr��-Coeur, Maisonneuve-Rosemont and the Montreal Jewish Hospital). The collaborative efforts created and maintained in this network have allowed transfer of knowledge and the sharing of cutting edge technologies. RRCancer favors multidisciplinary cancer research in both fundamental and clinical scopes. The network is based on the desire researchers to work together to prevent cancer and improve therapeutic strategies, all the while continuing the very important task of raining new specialists and graduate students.

From the type of mutation causing cancer to specific gene expression levels, genetic biomarkers are becoming an indispensable tool for developing new treatment models for cancer. The ITOR Biorepository Services tissue bank initiatives are critical to the continued development of an organized research infrastructure that will attract leading biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies interested in developing the next generation of cancer therapies. Ultimately, by linking the laboratory and clinical settings through innovative research investigations, USC, Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center, and private partners can identify the most novel ways to find and couple these biomarkers to patient drug trials and eventually, the most effective treatments & cures for cancer. The ITOR Biorepository Services Department ����?����������?? in conjunction with the Greenville Hospital System''s surgical oncologists, pathologists and staff ����?����������?? have developed tissue bank sample processing guidelines for frozen tissue, fresh tissue and peripheral blood and include flash freezing in liquid nitrogen within 15 minutes of harvest to maximize cell viability for basic science research. The department has a dedicated staff, including two research nurses and a data coordinator, which facilitate the logistics of tissue handling and submit outcomes data on participating patients. The ITOR Biorepository staff is in the process of adopting a universal consent for all patients of the Greenville Hospital System to have the option of donating excess tissue for research, should they desire. ITOR of GHS has several tissue-based patient initiatives & programs under development and ongoing. At the forefront of cancer care are two specific programs, Total Cancer Care and Caris Target Now.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented May 10, 2017. It has been incorporated with the LBIH Biobank. The Liverpool Tissue Bank (LTB) collects biological samples (tissue surplus to diagnostic requirement and blood) from patients undergoing surgery or biopsy procedure for the treatment and diagnosis of a wide variety of medical conditions. The main focus of the LTB is collecting samples from patients where cancer is a confirmed or likely diagnosis. These samples are banked to provide an invaluable resource for research groups investigating the molecular mechanisms involved in a range of medical conditions with the aim of devising new treatments and therapies. The Liverpool Tissue Bank (LTB) was formerly known as the Cancer Tissue Bank Research Centre (CTBRC) and changed to the LTB in late 2009. The Tissue Bank was established in 1991 from a charitable donation by the Candis Club, the charitable arm of Candis Magazine. It is a University of Liverpool resource located within the Department of Pathology, School of Cancer Studies. The LTB operates a cost recovery scheme where a charge is made to researchers to cover the costs involved in the collection, storage and processing of biosamples.
