Tissue Collection Protocol for Gastroesophageal Cancers
Tissue Collection for Gastro-esophageal Cancer Primary Cell Line Establishment
About This Trial
This proposed collection of primary tumor cells lines will benefit esophageal cancer research within the University Health Network. This collection of gastro-esophageal tumor samples will be used to grow primary tumor cell lines, which will provide researchers with ready samples of various gastro-esophageal cancers. This will help to address the issue of access to these cell lines due to the limited number of patients with gastro-esophageal tumors, and high rates of contamination.
