Foreword

The research, an account of which we will get over this book, is designed to analyze how the essential resource for research that are human biological elements, mainly tumor tissues, and the personal data associated with them are developed. The treatment and study of cancer requires us to collect and store diseased tissue and thus constitute collections that will be useful to the patient himself, and then possibly to research. For about a decade, these collections have been subject to a legislative framework that protects different interests but also defines the means of a common standard of conservation and circulation. From the beginning, structured collections of tumors, or tumor banks, have figured prominently among biobanks. If we refer to the definition of the INCA, “tumor banks are located in health facilities, where biological samples are recorded, cryopreserved, then according to specific, legally defined conditions and structures, are made available to doctors and scientists for clinical tests or research studies”.
