Breast Cancer Resource for Research and Banking, with Emphasis on Early Tumors and Precursor Lesions
Abstract
The Breast Cancer Resource for Research and Banking has accrued breast cells or tissues from 1342 patients during the three year grant period to date. The emphasis of this project is on the collection of microscopic at risk and precursor lesions as imprints/scrapes. These constitute over half of our specimens. However, most investigators who have requested samples have requested frozen pieces of tumor tissue paired with normal tissue from the same patient, ie. their interest has been in invasive carcinomas and not in precursor lesions. We have also begun to fill requests for microdissection, which is emerging as a favored method for studying microscopic lesions.
