CORE--TUMOR PROCUREMENT

肿瘤采购核心设施的目的是协调 从患者中收集和使用原发性人类癌症样本 在俄勒冈州大学接受手术或尸检， VAMC。 这些组织将支持基础和翻译 癌症中心成员的研究。 除了获得 肿瘤和邻近正常组织样本，IRB批准的知情同意书 允许抽取血液样本用于制备 DNA. 该核心还准备用于组织学确认的切片， 标本中存在肿瘤。收集人口统计数据， 进行病理和临床数据，以促进相关 这些信息被输入计算机化数据库。 集中收集肿瘤样本可最大限度地减少生物危害 涉及处理人体组织，并允许编码样本， 确保患者匿名。自上次赠款提交以来， 建立了收费制度。

The purpose of the Tumor Procurement Core Facility is to coordinate collection and use of primary human cancer specimens from patients who undergo surgery or autopsy at the University of Oregon and VAMC. These tissues will support both basic and translational research studies of Cancer Center members. In addition to obtaining samples of tumor and adjacent normal tissue, an IRB approved consent exists to allow the drawing of a sample of blood for preparation of DNA. This core also prepares slides for histologic confirmation of the presence of tumor in the specimen. Collection of demographic, pathologic and clinical data is performed to facilitate correlative studies and this information is entered into a computerized data base. Centralized collection of tumor samples minimizes the biohazards involved in handling human tissues and allows coding of samples to insure anonymity of patients. Since the previous grant submission a charge back system has been established.
