Your Samples Could Saves Lives

Become an active participant in beating cancer. By consenting to Total Cancer Care® (TCC) and providing samples, you give researchers the data they need to unlock insights and open the door to better cancer treatments.

Experience the Power of Partnership

Collaboration is at the core of the TCC® network. By combining patient health information into one searchable data system, TCC® helps doctors uncover trends between patients with similar conditions, allowing for more informed decision making. As the database grows, researchers can use the data to develop more targeted treatment options for patients.

To protect patients' privacy and security, all information is collected in a safe and consistent process across all member cancer centers.

We collect…

Clinical data including the patient's age, weight, ethnicity, medicines, and other medical conditions, which is vital to developing targeted treatments.

Molecular data includes information from tissue, blood, and urine. This allows researchers to find DNA changes (called gene mutations) associated with cancer.

This data cannot be used to identify a patient.
