abstract = {There is an increasing need for establishment of biobanks for human cancer, which may facilitate basic and clinical researches as well as the development of novel approaches to early diagnostics, prevention and treatment, including personalized medicine. Herein we report the es- tablishment of a lung cancer biobanks using biological samples from a lung cancer patient population in Southern China. Since 2007, we have collected lung cancer tissue from 1,054 patients with lung cancer, from whom 11,895 frozen tumor and normal matched tissues, 4,899 tissue paraffin blocks, and 3,562 blood serum samples were accumulated. The information on clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, and follow-up was maintained by an independent information management system, including three data sets. The primary data set included frozen tissue specimens, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues, blood specimens and clinical and long-term follow-up data. The sec- ondary data set included DNA, RNA and proteins extracted from corresponding tissue specimens. And the tertiary data set contained im- proved genome, RNA and proteomics correlation analysis with relevant clinical and long-term follow-up data. The lung cancer biobanks is accessible to academic research and public services. To our best knowledge, this biobanks represents the first lung cancer tissue reservoir in China and should facilitate the basic and clinical research of this disease and developing diagnostic markers and novel therapeutic modali- ties.},
