1. Resource Description

   "The Louisiana Cancer Research Consortium (LCRC) Tissue Procurement and Biospecimen Core Facility (TPBCF) is a part of the infrastructure to support the conduct of basic and clinical research for members of the LCRC. The goal of the repository is to support LCRC programmatic research in order to further improve our understanding of those molecular factors that contribute to cancer and that may lead to prevention, early detection, and cure. The mission of the Biospecimen Core is to collect high quality samples of normal and diseased human material (e.g., whole blood, cellular blood components, plasma, urine, body fluids, DNA, and tumor tissue and cells) with appropriate clinical data and to make this material available to qualified researchers at Louisiana Cancer Research Consortium while ensuring the informed consent, safety, donor anonymity, and all regulatory safeguards are in place."
