Database to store and display somatic mutation information and related details and contains information relating to human cancers. The mutation data and associated information is extracted from the primary literature. In order to provide a consistent view of the data a histology and tissue ontology has been created and all mutations are mapped to a single version of each gene. The data can be queried by tissue, histology or gene and displayed as a graph, as a table or exported in various formats. Some key features of COSMIC are: * Contains information on publications, samples and mutations. Includes samples which have been found to be negative for mutations during screening therefore enabling frequency data to be calculated for mutations in different genes in different cancer types. * Samples entered include benign neoplasms and other benign proliferations, in situ and invasive tumours, recurrences, metastases and cancer cell lines. |

The surgeon and the Department of Pathology attending physicians and residents are responsible for identifying appropriate tissue for banking that will not compromise pathological diagnosis. Tumor and/or normal adjacent tissue, identified by gross examination, that will not be needed for pathological diagnosis are preserved by fixing in formalin, snap freezing, and/or fixing in RNALater. Histological diagnosis is rendered on each piece of formalin-fixed and snap frozen tissue by Hematoxylin and Eosin staining (H&E). Everyone involved in submitting specimens to the Tumor Bank must maintain a current CITI Certification. |

The TPF is a centralized resource with standardized patient consent, sample collection, processing, storage, quality control, distribution, and electronic record maintenance. Since the 1996 inception of the TPF, over 61,000 tissue samples including well-preserved samples of malignant and benign tumors, organ-matched normal tissue, and other types of diseased tissues, have been collected from surgical specimens obtained at the University of Minnesota Medical Center-Fairview (UMMC-F) University Campus. Surgical pathologists are intellectually engaged in TPF functions, providing researchers with specimen-oriented medical consultation to facilitate research productivity. Prior to surgery, TPF personnel identify and consent patients for procurement of tissue, blood, urine, saliva, and ascites fluid. Within the integrated working environment of the surgical pathology laboratory, freshly obtained tissues not needed for diagnosis are selected and provided by pathologists to TPF personnel. Tissue samples are then assigned an independent code and processed. TPF staff can also work with researchers to individualize the procurement of tissues to fit specific research needs. | human, tissue, biological sample, basic research, translational research, clinical research, cancer research, cancer, malignant tumor, benign tumor, organ-matched normal tissue, normal tissue, diseased tissue, blood, urine, saliva, ascites fluid |

The TPSF can provide normal, malignant, benign, or diseased remnant human tissues and/or fluids from surgical resections, autopsies, or clinical procedures for IRB-approved researchers. The preservation can include fresh storage in media or saline, snap-frozen storage in liquid nitrogen, freezing in OCT for frozen section preparation, or preservation in a fixative of choice. The TPSF can also provide procurement of control tissues including uninvolved tissues or matched tissues from patients with benign disease processes. The histology laboratory can provide paraffin blocks and/or stained or unstained slides. In addition, investigators can obtain access to rare tissues through the national Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN). Although the facility operates as a prospective service specializing in the preparation of samples to protocol, limited banked frozen and paraffin-embedded samples may be available. Investigators are required to complete an application and provide a copy of their IRB approval as well as a brief description of the project for which the requested samples will be utilized. Samples are provided for research purposes only. Processing fees are to offset processing costs and should be included in all grant applications. | tissue, tissue procurement, shared facility, comprehensive cancer center |
