Important concepts
Molecular profiling: the concept from BIG
data (sequencing, arrays, large screens)
How good is the data? How reproducible is it? What drive these data?
My own journey with BIG DATA
Sanford-Bratslavsky. Plos One
Biobanking quality matters
HUNDREDS / THOUSANDS OF GENES ARE AFFECTED BY PROCUREMENT CONDITIONS AND STORAGE
Tissue Procurement Conditions
Personalized/Precsision Medicine depends on
accurate expression profiling of surgical specimens
Standardized guidelines on tissue processing after
surgical extirpation are lacking
Methods of tissue acquisition alone could
significantly impact tumor profile
One More Variable
LAPAROSCOPY/ROBOTICS
Laparoscopic/Robotic Surgery
Tissue procured from laparoscopic/robotic
procedures is subjected to ischemia time at body temperature
Methods – Tissue Procurement
