Area of Science:

  • Biospecimen science
  • Cancer research
  • Molecular analysis

Background:

  • High-quality cancer research requires human biospecimens collected under rigorous ethical and procedural standards.
  • Current methods for biospecimen collection, stabilization, processing, and storage are highly variable, leading to inconsistent biospecimen quality.
  • The quality of biospecimens available for research is often unknown, impacting downstream molecular analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To understand the effects of different biospecimen collection methods on downstream molecular analysis.
  • To develop a knowledge base for evidence-based biospecimen standard operating procedures.
  • To establish reliable methods for assessing biospecimen quality.

Main Methods:

  • Initiation of the National Cancer Institute Biospecimen Research Network program in 2006.
  • Conducting, sponsoring, reporting, and collaborating on research projects.
  • Development of an online Biospecimen Research Database and an annual symposium.

Main Results:

  • Multiple research projects are underway to investigate biospecimen variables.
  • Development of resources to support biospecimen research and standardization.
  • Progress towards establishing evidence-based standard operating procedures for biospecimen handling.

Conclusions:

  • Standardizing biospecimen collection and processing is crucial for reliable cancer research.
  • The Biospecimen Research Network program is building essential knowledge and resources.
  • Improved biospecimen quality will enhance cancer research and development efforts.
