You may be asked prior to your surgery (by letter or in person) whether you would like to donate some of your breast cancer tissue to a tissue bank.
Tissue banks collect breast cancer samples, and information about the women who donate them, for use in breast cancer research. If you agree to participate, you will be asked to complete consent forms.
If you have consented, the pathologist will pass on a small part of the sample provided to him/her by the surgeon to the tissue bank. This will be excess tissue that is not required by the pathologist for your pathology reporting.
The samples at the tissue bank may be used immediately, stored frozen, or preserved in paraffin wax for future research. In addition to donating your tissue, you may be asked to provide a blood sample and information about your general health.
All tissue banks are bound by rigorous ethical standards, so that the care and confidentiality of donors is assured.
