XBTC – Network of Tumor Banks of Catalonia
In 2002, the Oncology Plan of Catalonia promoted the creation of a network of tumor banks in Catalonia that would serve to provide sufficient samples for cancer research and to obtain useful results in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. One of the most important resources for the development of these studies are tumor tissues and other samples (serum, cell cultures) from patients affected by this disease as well as healthy control tissues. From these types of samples it is possible to obtain DNA, RNA, proteins and other products useful for research.
