It includes tissue banks and tissue procurement systems with access to normal, benign, precancerous and cancerous human tissue from a variety of organs. <br /> Researchers specify the types of specimens, number of cases, preservation methods and associated data they require. The Locator will then search the database and return a list of tissue resources most likely to meet their requirements. When no match is obtained, the researcher is referred to the NCI Tissue Expediter (tissexp@mail.nih.gov). The Tissue expediter is a scientist who can help researchers identify appropriate resources and/or appropriate collaborators. nlx_80312 Resource:NCI Specimen Resource Locator 2013-06-17T00:00:00 Resource Resource Supporting Agency SuperCategory ModifiedDate Label Microarray Normal Tumor Keywords National Cancer Institute Is part of Id Database Has role File:Specimen Resource Locator.PNG ExampleImage Definition DefiningCitation CurationStatus Abbrev
