Commitment to Quality & Modern Methods Carle Tissue Repository Updated June 2010
It is the responsibility of the Carle Tissue Repository to employ the best applicable methods of tissue banking and data management available, complying with the standards for best practice delineated in the NCI National Dialogue on Cancer Rand Report (reference 1 cited at the end of this sub-section). Examples of best practices and modern methods are: · Honest broker concept for preservation of subject confidentiality and privacy. · Standard consent template. · Coded but not de-linked subject samples and information. · Bar coding of samples to control subject confidentiality and keep records on availability of samples. · Website with information on what is available at the Tissue Repository on a real-time basis (in development). · Holding specimen from entering into the Tissue Repository until the surgical pathology report is issued and signed out by the Pathologist.
