The Cancer Genome Atlas Resource Report Resource Website 5000+ mentions |
The Cancer Genome Atlas (RRID:SCR_003193) | TCGA | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | Project exploring the spectrum of genomic changes involved in more than 20 types of human cancer that provides a platform for researchers to search, download, and analyze data sets generated. As a pilot project it confirmed that an atlas of changes could be created for specific cancer types. It also showed that a national network of research and technology teams working on distinct but related projects could pool the results of their efforts, create an economy of scale and develop an infrastructure for making the data publicly accessible. Its success committed resources to collect and characterize more than 20 additional tumor types. Components of the TCGA Research Network: * Biospecimen Core Resource (BCR); Tissue samples are carefully cataloged, processed, checked for quality and stored, complete with important medical information about the patient. * Genome Characterization Centers (GCCs); Several technologies will be used to analyze genomic changes involved in cancer. The genomic changes that are identified will be further studied by the Genome Sequencing Centers. * Genome Sequencing Centers (GSCs); High-throughput Genome Sequencing Centers will identify the changes in DNA sequences that are associated with specific types of cancer. * Proteome Characterization Centers (PCCs); The centers, a component of NCI's Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium, will ascertain and analyze the total proteomic content of a subset of TCGA samples. * Data Coordinating Center (DCC); The information that is generated by TCGA will be centrally managed at the DCC and entered into the TCGA Data Portal and Cancer Genomics Hub as it becomes available. Centralization of data facilitates data transfer between the network and the research community, and makes data analysis more efficient. The DCC manages the TCGA Data Portal. * Cancer Genomics Hub (CGHub); Lower level sequence data will be deposited into a secure repository. This database stores cancer genome sequences and alignments. * Genome Data Analysis Centers (GDACs) - Immense amounts of data from array and second-generation sequencing technologies must be integrated across thousands of samples. These centers will provide novel informatics tools to the entire research community to facilitate broader use of TCGA data. TCGA is actively developing a network of collaborators who are able to provide samples that are collected retrospectively (tissues that had already been collected and stored) or prospectively (tissues that will be collected in the future). | genome, genome sequencing, breast, central nervous system, endocrine, gastrointestinal, gynecologic, head, neck, hematologic, skin, soft tissue, thoracic, urologic, clinical, genomic characterization, analysis, tumor genome, demographic, gene expression, copy number alteration, epigenetic, dna sequence, exome, snp, methylation, mrna, mirna, FASEB list |

Chernobyl Tissue Bank Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Chernobyl Tissue Bank (RRID:SCR_010662) | CTB | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | The CTB (Chernobyl Tissue Bank) is an international cooperation that collects, stores and disseminates biological samples from tumors and normal tissues from patients for whom the aetiology of their disease is known - exposure to radioiodine in childhood following the accident at the Chernobyl power plant. The main objective of this project is to provide a research resource for both ongoing and future studies of the health consequences of the Chernobyl accident. It seeks to maximize the amount of information obtained from small pieces of tumor by providing multiple aliquots of RNA and DNA extracted from well documented pathological specimens to a number of researchers world-wide and to conserve this valuable material for future generations of scientists. It exists to promote collaborative, rather than competitive, research on a limited biological resource. Tissue is collected to an approved standard operating procedure (SOP) and is snap frozen; the presence or absence of tumor is verified by frozen section. A representative paraffin block is also obtained for each case. Where appropriate, we also collect fresh and paraffin-embedded tissue from loco-regional metastases. Currently we do not issue tissue but provide extracted nucleic acid, paraffin sections and sections from tissue microarrays from this material. The project is coordinated from Imperial College, London and works with Institutes in the Russian Federation (the Medical Radiological Research Centre in Obninsk) and Ukraine (the Institute of Endocrinology and Metabolism in Kiev) to support local scientists and clinicians to manage and run a tissue bank for those patients who have developed thyroid tumors following exposure to radiation from the Chernobyl accident. Belarus was also initially included in the project, but is currently suspended for political reasons. |

UMAS University Hospital - Biobanks of the Department of Clinical Pathology and Cytology (RRID:SCR_005957) | Biobanks of the Department of Clinical Pathology and Cytology | material resource, instrument supplier | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on October 6th, 2022. The biobank comprises paraffin blocks of surgical and autopsy tissue samples and corresponding histological slides as well as cytological material consisting of slides of vaginal smears, fine needle aspiration biopsies and exfoliative cytological material. The tissue samples date back until 1944 and most of the cytological samples until 1970. A subunit of the bank constitutes the National Tissue Microarray Centre. This center is supported by SWEGENE with the purpose to organize and construct tissue microarrays (TMA:s) for high throughput molecular pathology research on various kinds of tumors and other diseases. By linking the TMA.s to long-term and complete clinical follow-up data, prognostic and predictive studies will be facilitated. Biobank content: * Approximately 2,4 million paraffin blocks of surgical tissue specimens, * 1,1 million paraffin blocks of tissue samples from autopsies, * 3,8 million histological slides and * 1,6 million cytology slides. At present, the Tissue Microarray Centre includes: * A consecutive series of all invasive breast cancers (n=600) diagnosed in Malmo between 1988 and 1992. * All incident breast cancers within the Malmo Diet and Cancer cohort (n=400). * A subgroup of 600 pre-menopausal primary breast cancers within the nationwide, population-based randomized tamoxifen trial SBII:2. * 180 primary breast cancers from post-menopausal women included in a similar study. * A set of 120 extremely well characterized primary breast cancer samples with a clinical follow-up of 10 years. More than 40 relevant tumor biological parameters have been recorded in this material and it is therefore useful for a first screening of a marker in order to identify associations to other gene products. * 350 renal cell carcinomas (In collaboration with NUS). We provide researchers with state-of-the-art population based tissue microarrays with long-term and complete follow-up data on survival and treatment. With the TMA-technology, valuable biobank material will be preserved, allowing high throughput in-situ analyses of various tumors and other diseases with a minimal waste of tissue. | surgery, autopsy, histology slide, vaginal smear, fine needle aspiration, biopsy, tissue microarray, tumor, disease, cancer, diet, renal cell, kidney |

University of Rochester Program for Brain Tumors and Spinal Tumors (RRID:SCR_005343) | URMC Program for Brain and Spinal Tumors, | biomaterial supply resource, brain bank, material resource, tissue bank | Collaborative neuro-oncology research program with a tissue repository (tumor bank) containing a wide range of clinical specimens, which they make available to researchers in order to study the effects of new drugs on a large number and wide range of tumor specimens. They provide highly coordinated, complex care in neurosurgery, radiation oncology, medical oncology, and neurology to patients afflicted with tumors of the brain and spine by combining the newest technologies and treatments available anywhere in the world. The program is formed from a multidisciplinary group with a goal of helping patients navigate the complex issues surrounding brain and spinal cancer care. The researchers are working to increase the number of targets that could be considered for anti-angiogenesis therapy. Many of their studies focus on the blood vessel cells (endothelial cells) themselves, which, unlike tumor cells, rarely mutate and so might be less likely to become resistant to therapy and are also more easily reached through the bloodstream. Their researchers are also attempting to better understand the changes in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that are associated with fluid accumulation and brain swelling (edema) in neuro-oncology patients. Normal brain tissue is shielded from the rest of the body by the BBB. This barrier is composed of very tight blood vessels that prevent most substances from entering the brain. Brain tumors have a leaky BBB ����?? this feature can be used to identify tumors on MRI scans. They have identified specific molecules that appear to be associated with the leaky, abnormal vessels while the normal blood vessels with intact BBB produce these molecules at very low levels or not at all. Inhibiting the function of these molecules may help control or prevent disruption of the BBB and limit cerebral edema in brain tumor patients, as well as patients suffering from stroke or traumatic brain injury. | brain tissue, brain, tissue, spine, spinal tumor, brain tumor, tumor, cancer, normal control, clinical trial, treatment, acoustic neuroma, anaplastic astrocytoma, brain metastases, brain stem glioma, chordoma, cns lymphoma, craniopharyngioma, ependymoma, gliomatosis cerebri, glioblastoma, low grade glioma, meningioma, medulloblastoma, oligodendroglioma, pineal tumor, pilocytic astrocytoma, pituitary adenoma, premature neuroectodermal tumor, oncology, neurooncology, stroke, traumatic brain injury, cerebral edema | is listed by: One Mind Biospecimen Bank Listing | Tumor, Brain tumor, Cancer, Spinal tumor, Normal control | Available to researchers - not clear if internally or if provide specimens to the public | nlx_144398 | http://www.urmc.rochester.edu/neurosurgery/neurooncology/overview/research/ | SCR_005343 | University of Rochester Brain Tumor and Spinal Tumor Program | 2026-08-04 09:41:20 | 0 | |||||

The Midwestern Division of the CHTN stores a temporary biospecimen bank of tumor and normal tissue, tissue slides and paraffin embedded tissue blocks for research investigators throughout the country and Canada who are trying to find a cure for cancer. As part of the HTRN biospecimen bank, a Rees Scientific equipment monitoring system helps to secure the integrity and quality of samples stored in the biorepository. Scientific research within the HTRN is currently underway to determine the best methods in tissue storage for long term use. The NCI First-Generation Guidelines for NCI-Supported Biorepositories and the NCI Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources are continuously reviewed and adapted by the HTRN. | tumor tissue, normal tissue, plasma, serum, whole blood, white blood cell, urine, blood, tissue, tissue slide, paraffin embedded tissue block, slide, paraffin, cancer, leukemia, research |

Conticabase - European Sarcoma Database and Tumour Bank Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Conticabase - European Sarcoma Database and Tumour Bank (RRID:SCR_004832) | Conticabase | biomaterial supply resource, material resource, tissue bank | This database contains anonymized information describing the tumor, treatment and follow-up as well as tumor sample availability and molecular biology analyses for mesenchymal tumors except GIST and bone tumors. The query tool allows users to ask questions about the overall content of the database in order to evaluate the feasibility of specific collaborative studies. We hope this database will become an important tool for increasing our knowledge on these rare tumors and for developing joint research programs. The tool can be used as a local center database thanks to its rules for access to patient data and material. Conticabase currently contains the following data from 31 out of the 48 registered centers (Last modification on 28/03/2012): * 11518 Patients * 11562 Tumors * 13897 Samples (13636 Paraffin and 5773 Frozen) Use of conticabase data At anytime, a data manager can export data of patients from his (her) Centre or group according to his (her) level of rights. To obtain data from another Centre, a partner should ask the coordinator of the corresponding Centre for these data. To use data for a cooperative study, a member should write a short text describing the project and send it to partners of interest. Each partner may decide whether to participate or not and therefore, whether to send or not the corresponding data to the project leader. In the event that the data from the conticabase result in a publication, acknowledgement is required. Use of tumour material entered in the ConticaBank To obtain material from another Centre for a cooperative study, a partner should write a short text describing the project and send it to the partners of interest. Each partner may decide whether to participate or not and, therefore, whether to send or not the corresponding material to the project leader.

Erasmus MC Tissue Bank Resource Report Resource Website |
Erasmus MC Tissue Bank (RRID:SCR_004945) | Erasmus MC Tissue Bank | biomaterial supply resource, material resource, tissue bank | The Erasmus MC Virtual Tissue Bank is embedded in the department of Pathology. The collection is meant for medical research purposes only. This concerns a typical clinical based pathology biobank. Tissue samples left over from surgical resection specimen are stored under liquid nitrogen and can be requested by Erasmus MC scientists for medical scientific experiments. An application has been developed to enable scientists to search the collection on-line and request tissue samples over the Erasmus MC Intranet. Every request shall be judged according to procedures determined by the Erasmus MC Tissue Bank. A growing need is anticipated for large collections of well-diagnosed fresh frozen tumor tissue and, if available, corresponding pre-malignant and normal tissue samples. Scientific research on patient residual material has to comply with strict rules and regulations. Equipment The Erasmus MC Tissue bank manages the PALM microdissection laser for the center for Biomics, which is available through the center for Biomics ONLY after having followed an introduction course. Additionally, a complete TMA (Tissue Micro Array) platform, fully funded by the Josephine Nefkens Stichting, consisting of a Beecher Automated Tissue Arrayer ATA 27 and a Virtual Microscope or Nanozoomer from Hamamatsu and Medical Solutions with TMA analyses software strongly supports translational research on tissue samples. Complete histologic Images from the Virtual Microscope are available within the Erasmus MC Intranet or available on the Internet either by overview or a direct example. | clinical, tumor tissue, tissue, pre-malignant tissue, normal tissue, liquid nitrogen, fresh frozen, frozen, tumor | is listed by: One Mind Biospecimen Bank Listing | Tumor | European Union | Private: Tissue samples left over from surgical resection specimen are stored under liquid nitrogen and can be requested by Erasmus MC scientists for medical scientific experiments. | nlx_91504 | http://www.erasmusmc.nl/pathologie/clinicalpathology/tissuebank/161390/ | SCR_004945 | Erasmus Medical Center Tissue Bank, Erasmus MC Virtual Tissue Bank | 2026-08-04 09:41:15 | 0 | ||||
