The purpose of the Multidisciplinary Gynecologic Cancer Translational Research Tissue Bank is to provide investigators with primary human tissue for research projects relating to gynecologic cancer. Priority for samples is given to the MD Anderson scientific community. This tissue bank handles the consent, collection, processing, storage and distribution of primary gynecologic tumor samples as well as ascites, blood and urine of gynecologic cancer patients.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented September 2, 2016. A clinical database and PTB were created in 1990 and 2000, respectively, to collect clinical information and biospecimens from patients with suspected or confirmed pancreatic cancer, other pancreatic diseases, and tumors of the duodenum, ampulla of Vater, and distal bile duct. Standard procedures for biospecimen collection and data entry were developed. The use of human tissue for research is an invaluable tool to understand the basic mechanisms of tumor biology, which will hopefully lead to the development of new therapeutic approaches to pancreatic cancer treatment. The cornerstone of any large translational research program is the development of an accurate and comprehensive tumor bank. All tumors removed in the operating room are sampled for careful pathologic study and the remainder of the tumor is promptly stored in our Pancreas Tissue Bank (PTB) to be used for research. Other samples, including blood, pancreatic juice and biopsy material, can also be utilized to identify early markers for pancreatic cancer. The molecular profile of tumors in the PTB can be linked to information in our clinical database to provide insight on the relationship between molecular events and clinical outcome. Patients may contribute to the tissue banking effort by choosing to participate in select research protocols. Protecting patient privacy is of great importance and thus, to maintain the confidentiality of health information, the PTB complies with all federal and institutional regulations governing research with human participants.
