Tissue Collection Protocol for Gastroesophageal Cancers

Sponsor: University Health Network, Toronto

Summary

This proposed collection of primary tumor cells lines will benefit esophageal cancer research within the University Health Network. This collection of gastro-esophageal tumor samples will be used to grow primary tumor cell lines, which will provide researchers with ready samples of various gastro-esophageal cancers. This will help to address the issue of access to these cell lines due to the limited number of patients with gastro-esophageal tumors, and high rates of contamination.
