Data Bank and BioRepository (DBBR)
The Data Bank and BioRepository (DBBR) is a comprehensive data and sample bank, with biospecimens, epidemiologic and clinical information for investigators conducting translational research related to cancer prevention, etiology, detection and treatment. Collection of specimens and data from participants is ongoing for use in future research studies by CCSG members and others on a prospective basis. Patients who are newly diagnosed with cancer in targeted organ site-specific outpatient clinics are asked prior to surgery and cancer treatment to contribute data and specimens to DBBR. Other patients are also enrolled based on anticipated and planned use of data and samples for research by investigators (study specific collection).
SERVICES
- Availability of a bank of prospectively collected blood specimens (serum, plasma, buffy coat, red blood cells and DNA) from cancer patients, high risk individuals and healthy controls for research.
- Collection, linking and distribution of epidemiologic and clinical data with biospecimens.
- Study-specific biospecimen and data procurement to meet the needs of individual studies, including:
- Participant identification, eligibility screening and informed consent
- Serial biospecimen procurement prior to and throughout treatment
- Provision of biospecimens other than blood (buccal cells, sputum, and urine)
- Procurement and distribution of fresh biospecimens
- Collection of extended clinical and risk factor (questionnaire) data
