The Cancer Tissue Bank (CTB) is a dedicated research collaboration between clinicians, scientists and patients at Barts Health NHS Trust. It will create a unique and vital resource for cancer tissue of all types for researchers at Barts Health NHS Trust and, its sister academic institution Queen Mary University of London, as well researchers across the whole world.

Thus CTB is an initiative based on patient, clinician and scientists desire to create a unique research resource where patients and their relatives can donate their samples in a standardised manner. The samples will be collected and stored with written informed consent based on an ethically approved protocol. This protocol and policy will be under constant review.
