Tissue Banking

The APC has one of the largest prostate cancer tissue bank in the world.

What is tissue banking?

APC manages a rich biorepository (tissue biobank) of human prostate cancer samples and correlating data. Our tissue bank holds over 22,000 samples. The pathology, radiation / hormone therapy data and related quality of life data have been rigorously collected alongside human samples and provide a world-leading and unique resource.

We are one of only three Centres in the world selected to collect and interrogate whole genome DNA sequencing of prostate cancer. We share the knowledge we glean from this bank with the world, contributing over 60% of the advanced metastatic prostate cancer samples analysed globally.

Tissue banking has been ongoing since 2005 at APC and houses over 60% of the advanced metastatic prostate cancer samples analysed globally.
