IGF::OT::IGF SEER-LINKED VIRTUAL REPOSITORY (VTR)

美国国家癌症研究所监测、流行病学和最终结果（SEER）项目有意开发一个与SEER相关的虚拟组织存储库（VTR）。SEER VTR具有人口代表性和大采样框架，即使对于罕见的肿瘤和结果，也将是收集健壮的生物标本的独特资源。SEER的人口统计和临床数据可以通过定制的数据注释来增强，包括详细的化疗、复发时间和体重指数。

The National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program is interested in developing a SEER-linked Virtual Tissue Repository (VTR). A SEER VTR, with its population representativeness and large sampling frame would be a unique resource for assembling robust collections of biospecimens even for rare tumors and outcomes. SEER demographic and clinical data can be augmented with custom annotation of data including detailed chemotherapy, time to recurrence, and body mass index. The objectives of the VTR Pilot Study are to assess the ability of SEER Registries To serve as a resource for biospecimen research To locate cases with biospecimens in pathology laboratories and determine the requirements to retrieve those biospecimens To provide custom annotation of specified data items The VTR Pilot will also capture costs to identify and annotate these biospecimens.
