Commitment to Quality & Modern Methods Research Tissue Repository Updated April 2008
It is the responsibility of the CFH 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. · Holding specimen from entering in to the Tissue Repository until at least 30 days after the surgical pathology report is issued.
