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".

Detailed description

Recent progress in diagnosis and therapy of cancer diseases can be ascribed mainly to translational research. The relevance of "translational oncology" will only increase in the future -"From bench to bedside" - the swift implementation of new science research results in clinical studies in order to expedite progress in clinical cancer therapy for the benefit of the patient. Its almost a matter of course in the medical science today to collect biological samples together with clinical information thereby creating the foundation for future excellent fundamental research. The aim of this tumor bank is to consist of biological samples (together with a blood bank - see NCT01763125) and isolates of tumor patients and healthy people as controls. The biological samples, the clinical date together with prospective experimental date constitute the entity of the tumor bank. The content of the tumor bank can provide essential material for current and future research (e.g. analyses of prognostic or predictive tumor markers; genetically analysis (polymorphism, mutation, hypermethylation; verification and characterisation of disseminated tumor cells).

Conditions

• Breast Neoplasms
• Colorectal Neoplasms
• Neoplasms of the Female Genitalia
• Lung Neoplasms
• Endocrine Gland Neoplasms

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	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.
OTHER	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.
OTHER	Collecting urine samples	Patient is asked to give a urine sample. Urine is collected in urine beaker.
OTHER	Collecting saliva sample	Saliva sample is collected by spatula from the mouth cavity of the patient.
OTHER	Collecting sputum	Patient is asked to produce sputum into a 50ml lab tube.
OTHER	Collecting stool samples	Stool samples are collected prior to bowel preparation for colonoscopy. Device for sampling is provided to the patient.
OTHER	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.
