Program for Critical Technologies in Breast Oncology
Abstract
In Year 3 of The Program for Critical Technologies in Breast Oncology (PCTBO), we have expanded services that were initiated in July 1994 to establish a core technical and tissue procurement resource that: (1) maximizes access to human breast tissues and tumor DNA for basic investigators; (2) facilitates the application of molecular technologies in clinical breast oncology; and (3) makes such technologies routinely available to clinical investigators. This program builds on Yale's existing Program for Critical Technologies in Molecular Medicine and the Tissue Procurement Core Facility of the Yale Cancer Center, and complements in a rigorous and planned way the Yale Tumor Registry and Yale's Rapid Case Ascertainment System. Thus it makes possible for several resources to have a special focus on breast cancer and related diseases. The existence of a Breast Cancer Research Program (Dr. Michael Reiss, P.I.), developed with the resources of the Yale Comprehensive Cancer Center in 1995, increases the utilization of the PCTBO infrastructure to near maximum capacity.
