项目摘要/摘要：生物质学单位 华盛顿大学人类肿瘤图谱研究生物谱系的总体目标 中心(WU-HTARC)是收集人类肿瘤生物标本以供鉴定和使用的数据 分析单位，以构建拟议的肿瘤图谱。我们的生物检验科将采购和储存 来自300-375名患者的纵向活检和肿瘤切除(选自约750名招募的患者)。 目标是研究从原发恶性肿瘤到复发和转移的转变 三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)、胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)和 胰腺导管腺癌(PDAC)。在这项研究中选择的三种肿瘤中的每一种都构成了独特的 临床医生和研究人员都面临着挑战。由于他们往往发病较晚，高度转移性 性质，实现完全手术切除的挑战，以及对治疗的原始和获得性耐药性， 这些肿瘤中的每一种都代表着NCI癌症登月倡议(CMI)确定的机会 极大地促进了我们对癌症以及如何干预其发生和发展的理解。至 支持WU-HTARC的总体任务，生物质化股将执行以下工作：(1)鉴定 吴医院符合条件的TNBC、GBM和PDAC患者；(2)严格和系统的肿瘤收集，包括 在整个治疗过程中纵向收集所有患者；(3)完整收集相关的 临床数据和元数据；以及(4)当前和未来实验的所有样本的存储和处理 和分析管道。生物质化学股将与WU-HTARC内的其他股密切合作，开发 标准操作程序，并根据不断变化的技术进行调整。

Project Summary/Abstract: Biospecimen Unit The over-arching goal of the Biospecimen Unit for the Washington University Human Tumor Atlas Research Center (WU-HTARC) is to collect human tumor biospecimens for use by the Characterization and Data Analysis Units to construct the proposed tumor atlases. Our Biospecimen Unit will procure and bank longitudinal biopsies and excised tumors from 300-375 patients (selected from ~750 recruited patients) with a goal toward studying the transition from primary malignancy to recurrence and metastasis in conjunction with the development of therapeutic resistance in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), glioblastoma (GBM), and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Each of the three tumors chosen for this study poses unique challenges for both clinicians and researchers. From their often late onset of diagnosis, highly metastatic nature, challenges in achieving complete surgical resection, and primary and acquired resistance to treatment, each of these tumors represents an opportunity identified by the NCI Cancer Moonshot Initiative (CMI) to significantly advance our understanding of cancer and how to intervene on its initiation and progression. To support the overall mission of WU-HTARC, the Biospecimen Unit will perform the following: (1) identification of eligible patients at WU with TNBC, GBM, and PDAC; (2) rigorous and systemic collection of tumors, including longitudinal collection of all patients throughout their treatment course; (3) complete collection of associated clinical data and metadata; and (4) storage and processing of all samples with current and future experimental and analytical pipelines. The Biospecimen Unit will work closely with other Units within WU-HTARC to develop standard operating procedures and to make adjustments in line with the changing technologies.
