Description: The NSABP (National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project) Tissue Bank is the central repository of tissue samples (stained and unstained slides, tissue blocks, and frozen tissue specimens) collected from clinical trials conducted by the NSABP. The main scientific aim of the NSABP Division of Pathology is to develop clinical context-specific prognostic markers and predictive markers that predict response to or benefit from specific therapeutic modality. To achieve this aim, the laboratory collects the tumor and adjacent normal tissues from cancer patients enrolled into the NSABP trials through its membership institutions, and maintain these valuable materials with clinical follow-up information and distribute them to qualified approved investigators. Currently, specimens from more than 90,000 cases of breast and colon cancer are stored and maintained at the bank. Paraffin embedded tumor specimens are available from NSABP trials. We currently do not bank frozen tissues. All blocks are from patients enrolled in prospective NSABP treatment protocols and complete clinical follow up information as well as demographic information is available. Depending on the project, unstained tissue sections of 4-micrometer thickness, tissue microarrays, or stained slides are provided to the investigators in a blinded study format. Any investigators with novel projects that conform to the research goals of NSABP may apply for the tissue. Please refer to the NSABP Tissue Bank Policy to determine if your project conforms to these goals. Priority is given to NSABP membership institutions who regularly submit tissue blocks.
