Recent advances in understanding the molecular and cellular pathology of many diseases have resulted in direct benefit to today's patients. The translational research studies that have led to these advances relied on an integrated model of clinical and non-clinical laboratory investigations based on the analysis of human biospecimens that lead directly to drug discovery, drug validation, novel detection assays, and prognostic marker discovery. Translational research provides a unique mechanism to address questions specific to particular tumor or other disease types, biological modifiers and/or mechanisms of action that are essential for the advancement of healthcare. Specimens are to be collected from subjects who are having or have had a surgical or medical procedure (such as fluid or tissue removed, a biopsy or a blood or bone marrow draw). Any subject in which the primary diagnosis of disease was made within the DHR Health System and Any subject choosing to give consent for participation will be included

| Collection of diseased and non-diseased tissue, blood, and other body fluids | Collection of diseased and non-diseased tissue, blood, and other body fluids to establish a biobank to evaluate all potential clinically relevant alterations in the diseased cells, cellular components and disease biomarkers. The methods used to identify these alterations include: 1) Creation of novel disease and normal cell lines; 2) Molecular analysis; 3) Protein analysis; and 4) other cellular analyses. These methods may be employed immediately after obtaining the biologic material or at a future date after samples have been stored in a bank. | once |

fluid or tissue removed, a biopsy or a blood or bone marrow draw. The specimen requirements are approximately 80 mgs to 1 gm or more of fresh, frozen, or formalin fixed paraffin embedded ("FFPE") viable diseased tissue and up to 700 gms of viable normal tissue (when available). In addition, blood and/or bone marrow specimens may be obtained at diagnosis, during therapy, during remission, or at the time of relapse. Blood collection may range from 2-15tubes or approximately 20 to 150 mLs. Depending on the protocol it may be necessary to collect other biospecimens such as urine, stool, saliva, bronchial lavage, nasal fluids, or fine needle aspirates.
