A Tumor Bank , as used in this article, is a term commonly used to describe a service that collects, stores and distributes fresh human tumor tissue for the purposes of biomedical research, primarily cancer research. A Tumor Bank is sometimes also referred to as a Tissue Bank , since normal tissues for research are also often collected. However, this function is distinct from a Tissue bank Tissue Bank which collects and harvests human cadaver tissue for medical research and education, and banks which store Biomedical tissue for organ transplantation. Cancer Samples Most tumor banks collect their tumor samples from discarded tissues not needed for pathologic diagnosis, after patients undergo surgery to remove the tumor. The tissue is often snap frozen in liquid nitrogen but may also be preserved in special fixative such as RNAlater which preserves RNA , or formalin which preserved tissue architecture. Many NCI designated Cancer Center Cancer Centers in the U.S. have a Tumor Bank to supply biomedical scientists with actual patient samples of cancer and associated adjacent normal tissue. This process is currently a high priority to support more Translational Research .

Tumor hypoxia is the situation where tumor cell biology cells have been deprived of oxygen . As a tumor grows, it rapidly outgrows its blood supply, leaving portions of the tumor with regions where the oxygen concentration is significantly lower than in healthy tissues. Hypoxic tumor cells are usually resistant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy , ref W. A. Denny, Prodrug strategies in cancer therapy, Eur. J. Med. Chem., 2001, 36, 577 595 ref but they can be made more susceptible to treatment by increasing the amount of oxygen in them. Bioreductive prodrugs also play a significant part in dealing with these kinds of cells they can kill the oxygen deficient tumor cells selectively as hypoxic cytotoxins . The study of tumors in such conditions was pioneered by Louis Harold Gray Dr L. H. Gray . Tumor hypoxia can also be a result of the high degree of cell proliferation undergone in tumor tissue which causes a higher cell density and thus taxes the local oxygen supply. There are several companies working to address tumor hypoxia Novacea, Inc., Proacta Inc. and Threshold Pharmaceuticals, Inc. These companies are developing the following drug candidates AQ4N Novacea , PR 104 Proacta and TH 302 Threshold Pharmaceuticals .

onesource date June 2011 A benign tumor is a tumor that lacks the ability to Metastasis metastasize . Common examples of benign tumors include Melanocytic nevus moles and uterine fibroid s. The term Benignity benign implies a mild and nonprogressive disease. Some neoplasms are defined as benign tumors because they lack the invasive properties of a cancer. Indeed, many kinds of benign tumors are harmless to human health. However, they may still produce negative health effects. Examples of this include tumors which produce a mass effect medicine mass effect compression of vital organs such as blood vessels , or tumors of Endocrine system endocrine tissues, which may overproduce certain hormone s. Examples include thyroid adenoma s, adrenal tumor Adrenocortical adenoma adrenocortical adenomas , and pituitary adenoma s. Benign tumors typically are surrounded by an outer surface fibrous sheath that inhibits their ability to behave in a malignant manner. Nonetheless, many types of benign tumors have the potential to become Malignancy malignant and some types, such as teratoma , are notorious for this. Classification Benign neoplasms are typically composed of cells which bear a strong resemblance to a normal cell type in their organ of origin.
