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.

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.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented September 2, 2016. A clinical database and PTB were created in 1990 and 2000, respectively, to collect clinical information and biospecimens from patients with suspected or confirmed pancreatic cancer, other pancreatic diseases, and tumors of the duodenum, ampulla of Vater, and distal bile duct. Standard procedures for biospecimen collection and data entry were developed. The use of human tissue for research is an invaluable tool to understand the basic mechanisms of tumor biology, which will hopefully lead to the development of new therapeutic approaches to pancreatic cancer treatment. The cornerstone of any large translational research program is the development of an accurate and comprehensive tumor bank. All tumors removed in the operating room are sampled for careful pathologic study and the remainder of the tumor is promptly stored in our Pancreas Tissue Bank (PTB) to be used for research. Other samples, including blood, pancreatic juice and biopsy material, can also be utilized to identify early markers for pancreatic cancer. The molecular profile of tumors in the PTB can be linked to information in our clinical database to provide insight on the relationship between molecular events and clinical outcome. Patients may contribute to the tissue banking effort by choosing to participate in select research protocols. Protecting patient privacy is of great importance and thus, to maintain the confidentiality of health information, the PTB complies with all federal and institutional regulations governing research with human participants.
