In this web site you will find the central European database collecting the information of frozen tumor tissue specimens. In addition, a complete description of our intentions, how to join as collector or as scientist looking for tumor samples and how to use this facility is given. Our goal is by centralizing the tumor tissues information to facilitate the search of doctors/researchers for tumor tissues, which they need for their cancer research therewith facilitating cancer research.
Who are we ?
We are a group of pathology and research departments based in hospitals across Europe. Each hospital is involved in one or more of the following areas:
- The care of cancer patients
- Research into how cancer develops
- Research into new cancer treatments
The main reason for collecting tissue samples is to find new ways of diagnosing and treating cancer. The benefit to the donor are few. The main benefit is to future cancer patients.
What is the benefit for the researcher ?
The scientist/doctor who collects the sample is taking part in an international scheme to support future research in to diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
The scientist/doctor who uses the sample will know that the tissue they receive is of high quality because of the international standards which all hospitals in the TuBaFrost group agree too.
