When a patient suffering or thought to be suffering from cancer is cared for, samples are often taken to determine the precise diagnosis and to determine any treatment necessary. After this essential stage of the patient’s care, unused biological material is sometimes left over. This material is an essential and precious tool for research into cancer. This material can be made available to researchers the world over who study either the development mechanism of cancer or the new treatments available. Residual samples are centralised and stored in the Tumour Bank at the Cliniques Universitaires Saint-Luc King Albert II Institute.
