UCLA/USC Tumor Tissue Bank
Abstract
The UCLA/USC Tissue Bank was established to provide research investigators with a ready source of human tissue samples for basic and clinical research projects directed at greater understanding of various aspects of human breast cancer. The bank has been successful at accruing some 2423 tissue samples to 5 of 6 subcomponent banks comprising the main bank. These samples include breast cancer specimens, premalignant and non-malignant breast tissue, normal breast tissue, normal non-breast tissue, and bone marrow and peripheral stem cells from patients with active breast cancer. Though funding under this award is now exhausted, in the coming year we still expect expanded utilization of the bank by a greater number of investigators as well as continued accrual to the bank.
