Tumour Biobank
Frozen biological samples and paraffin-embedded tissue blocks representing the most common tumours.
About the Project
The Tumour Biobank contains more than 25 000 samples which include fragments of frozen tissue pertaining to 13 000 human tumours (collected up till 2010), among which are carcinomas, sarcomas, lymphomas, malignant tumours of the nervous system, mixed and germinal tumours, various types of metastatic tumours and benign tumours. Normal tissue from various organs is also stored here, as well as tissue microarrays and more than 100 000 paraffin-embedded tissue blocks.

Anatomical Pathology Collections
Paraffin-embedded biological samples representing a broad spectrum of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases.
About the Project
The Anatomical Pathologies Collections contain paraffin-embedded human biological samples covering a broad spectrum of diseases ranging from gastrointestinal, urological, gynaecological and pulmonary tumours to inflammatory and infectious abnormal tissue masses. The collections contain 900 000 paraffin-embedded blocks from 250 000 patients.
