Abstract

Modern molecular-based studies increasingly require human biological samples. To systematically support data management for the University of Kentucky (UK) Markey Cancer Center's (MCC) Biospecimen Core Tissue Bank (BCTB), the UK-Biorepository Information System (BIS) was designed and implemented. The BCTB was funded by the Kentucky Lung Cancer Program, which emphasizes lung tissues, matched serum, plasma, white blood cells, and buffycoats collected from donors seen in the MCC Multidisciplinary Lung Cancer Clinic and other selected clinics. Essential sub-modules-the user, the project, the storage, the annotation, the distribution, and the search management-were included in the UK-BIS As of July 2006, a total of 11,940 samples from 894 patients have been recorded and housed at the Kentucky Cancer Registry server for its secure and consistent system administration.
