A platform for collecting cancer tissue samples

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a comprehensive platform for the collection of biosamples from patients undergoing surgery or biopsy for solid organ cancers. It will facilitate the efficient gathering of both historical and fresh tissue samples, along with matched clinical and radiological data, to support various translational research projects. Researchers can propose specific sub-studies that will be reviewed and approved by the PINCER steering committee, ensuring alignment with the overarching protocol. The focus is on maximizing access to high-quality biosamples for cancer research without generating a biobank.
