Establishment of a Tumor Bank for Tissue Samples

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Tumor tissue collection: Tissue sample is collected during therapeutic intervention by a medical doctor/surgeon. Frozen tissue sections are first transferred to Dept.of Pathology. Pathologist samples required tissue to obtain enough evidence for analysis/diagnosis. Rest tumor material with or without malignant cells is tranferred to the lab for Molecular Oncology of Prof.Zeillinger.

Sampling of ascites and pleural effusion: Samples of malignant ascites and/or malignant pleural effusion is only collected during therapeutic intervention from patients at inpatient care.

Collecting urine samples: Patient is asked to give a urine sample. Urine is collected in urine beaker.

Collecting saliva sample: Saliva sample is collected by spatula from the mouth cavity of the patient.

Collecting sputum: Patient is asked to produce sputum into a 50ml lab tube.

Collecting stool samples: Stool samples are collected prior to bowel preparation for colonoscopy. Device for sampling is provided to the patient.

Lavage/Irrigation: Irrigation liquid is collected during routine therapeutic or diagnostic procedure, e.g. lavage of the uterine cavity and fallopian tubes of women scheduled for surgery.

Study summary

Establishment of a tumor bank, consisting of tissue samples of tumor patients (benign and malign tumors) and healthy people as controls. The tissue samples will be collected systematically together with the corresponding clinical data. The biological samples, the clinical date together with prospective experimental date constitute the entity of the tissue tumor bank.

This tumor bank for tissue samples, together with our tumorbank for blood samples (NCT01763125) combined constitute the entity "Tumorbank".

Eligibility
